With a short drive from your AirBnb you can access many hiking paths on the parkway.

The entrance to the Blue Ridge Parkway is approximately 7 miles away. The views are beautiful, there are a couple places to hike and/or have a picnic.

The Blue Ridge Parkway is a unique National Park, a winding two lane road that transverses ranges of the Appalachian Mountains from Smoky Mountain National Park up through Virgina. It is, simply, our favorite place to be here, in every season. I could write a book on it. Oh, I HAVE written such a book: the Monarch Butterfly Migration Guide.. The Monarch Guide, which I have tucked into the Brown House Guest Manual, gives directions to our favorite hikes. What it doesn't tell you about is that the Parkway itself is an amazing hike. In Winter, and even in Early Spring, the Park Service frequently closes the higher sections of the road. At that time, you can drive up as high as they will let you, park near the gate, and then walk or ride a bike on the road as far as you want.Local people know this well. We have gone up so far that there are few or no other people. The weather is sometimes cold and wild, but always beautiful, but you may wish to wait for a sunny, calm day. I once drove beyond a "closed" gate in our Toyota 4Runner to pick up several of my young adult children who were hiking up over Mt. Mitchell in the dead of Winter with an ice storm coming. The gate was partly closed, but the lock was undone. A Park Service employee stopped me and said I had to go back. I assured him it was an emergency and kept driving. Later a Park Ranger caught up with me. They are police officers you know, and not teddy bears. He told me I had to go back because of the coming storm. I told him, "My children are in potential trouble. They asked me to pick them up. I can leave and call 911 or you can let me wait here at the Visitor's Center for them." He said, "I'm 911" and left me alone. The frigid wind was blowing strongly and the vehicle rocking around. In a half-hour my guys showed up, grateful. One of them was close to being hypothermic. The PRP could very well fit in the Outdoor Adventure category.
