Blue Ridge Parkway Self-Guided Audio Tour from Asheville to Roanoke

Kick off your expedition in Asheville, driving through the rich tapestry of the Blue Ridge Parkway that stretches all the way to Roanoke. Let the open road guide your adventure!

From the breathtaking vistas of Haw Creek Valley, Tanbark Ridge, and Lane Pinnacle, you'll uncover the stories behind each location - from the tale of Tanning Hides to the harmonies of Native American Music. Navigate through the sweeping beauty of the Great Craggy Mountains, before gazing upon the grandeur of Graybeard Mountain and Mount Mitchell.

As you continue your journey, explore the narrative behind the Blue Ridge Parkway's transformation into a National Park. Witness the marvel of engineering at the Linn Cove Viaduct and gain insights into mysteries like Brown Mountain Lights and the legend of Blowing Rock.

Visit iconic sites like Mabry Mill, and learn about Appalachian traditions, food, and culture. Concluding in Roanoke, after traveling through scenic overlooks and cultural waypoints, you'll have explored the intricate weave of natural beauty, history, and tradition that defines the Blue Ridge Parkway.
