Introduction
The southernmost stretch of the Blue Ridge Parkway we visited on the 18th of October 2016. The stretch between Asheville and Cherokee in North Carolina we chose to see on this particular trip. On a prior trip we drove from Boone to Asheville, North Carolina. Subsequently, we have driven, now, most of the state of North Carolina. Next time we move into Virginia!! The views were absolutely stunning due to driving during peak week. Rust, Red, Yellow, Gold, Green along with the sheer rock faces, and all over the ground leaves, like a carlet … glorious sights!
We just loved driving the parkway, given that the views were sheer beauty … we have now done the drive two years in a row and will certainly do it again.
Here is our Ride Along video …. Enjoy!!

And here are a few of our favorite stills from the drive …. honestly it is all about those colors. We intend to go farther and farther up the east coast states in order to see the most vibrant colors.
The lower falls in the graveyard fields is pictured to the left. To the right – this panorama was taken at the pull off for the Graveyard Fields …. no wonder they are called the Smoky Mountains!! Below everything is a shot of one of the prettier pull offs showing the landscape carpet and ruggedness of the mountains. It is really difficult to put into words the beauty of the surrounding area of the parkway.
