American Locations 8: Continuing South on the Blue Ridge Parkway

Rested up after lunch and a short rest in the Hunchback Rocks picnic area, we continued south on the Parkway. We stopped frequently for overlooks.

Across the way, these homes have a good view of the Parkway.

I like this photo looking back at the road we had just driven.


We exited the Parkway to see a lake, but after 5 miles or so gave up and drove back up onto the Parkway. Resolved not to do this again. It was too difficult, and took too long, driving down from and then back up to the Parkway. We continued south, and the views just kept coming.


We stopped at MM34 at Yankee Horse Ridge to take a short hike up to Wigwam Falls. The trail began by crossing old railroad tracks fallen into disuse.

We followed a trickle.

Up to Wigwam Falls.
