Blue Ridge Parkway







We followed the Parkway north from Sylva to Grandfather Mountain (except for the section that was closed between Asheville and Mount Mitchell). The hardwood forests were still pretty bare, but the trees are starting to bud out. The road cuts were cascades of ice and in the morning sun they were dripping and the icicles were falling and shattering on the rocks.

The Parkway is a great road to drive -- especially today in nice weather, with the sun at our back, and with virtually no traffic. D would love this, but the rental company requires drivers to be 21.
