In the Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina you will find that all roads are great scenic highways. Its a biker's paradise with winding roads through the mountains, views that are breathtaking and numerous waterfalls along the way. But by far, my favorite ride will always be the Blue Ridge Parkway where you will not find any billboard signs or stop lights.
Blue Ridge Parkway Blue Ridge Parkway is my favorite ride of a lifetime with overlooks and tunnels, grassy pull offs with picnic tables. A must do for motorcycle's if you look you may even see a black bear or two. All of the following can be found close to the parkway. Blue Ridge Parkway History After 52 years of construction, the Blue Ridge Parkway was completed in September 1987. Ground was broken on September 11, 1935 at Cumberland Knob, North Carolina.
