A Traveler's Experience
switzy2 on September 6, 2009Blue Ridge Parkway (NC, VA)Skyline Drive (VA)
We traveled to Shenandoah National Park, Skyline Drive and right through the Blue Ridge Mountains to the Smokies this August 2009 by motorcycle. Entering New Hampshire from Canada we followed the White and Green Mountains through NH, VT and then on into PA eventually starting our main route at Front Royal. The was scenery was magical and the North American people charming. We want to return from the UK and investigate the area around Fancy Gap some more in the future.
