This year, between July 15 and August 4, we traveled the entire 469 miles of the Blue Ridge Parkway, taking our time.
Having a 5th wheel RV, we did not want to pull it over the grades and curves of the Parkway, nor did we wish to be encumbered with it at pull offs.
Instead, we elected to find campgrounds near the parkway. This wasn’t always easy,and often we found ourselves farther from the Parkway than we would have liked.
We didn’t drive on the Parkway daily, but usually took 2-3 days between excursions to explore the area we were in and to enjoy the relaxation of the campgrounds.
Surrounding this post are some of the many flowers we found in bloom on the Parkway.
Below are links to each drive. Keep in mind that we drove the Parkway opposite the way it was laid out. We started at the southern end. Also, because we had to drive from different locations to access the parkway, some of the posts are written as you drive it in a northernly direction, others in a southerly, depending on the order I took the photos.
Any photo that you wish to view larger, click on it and you will be taken to a separate tab or window.
Once you have clicked on a link, you can progress forward on the drive by clicking “Newer Post” at the bottom of the post, or backward by clicking “Older Post”

You did the Parkway the way it should be done. We made a rather hasty trip in April, before many of the facilities were open. It was still beautiful, though. We have yet to finish the trip since we started in Virginia and exited about a hundred miles short of the other end. Someday...
