Blue Ridge Parkway
Link Opens Aug. 12th
Ceremonies Held Up Un
til 1951 Due to Inter
national Situation
The new link of the Blue Ridge
Parkway from Mt. Mitchell, highest
peak in Eastern America, connecting
directly with N. C. Highway 694 into
Asheville and with U. S. 19 to the
Great Smoky Mountains National
Park, will be opened to traffic August
12, according to announcement by
Parkway Superintendent Sam P.
Weems.
Due to the international situation,
ceremonies marking the opening of the
mountain-top drive all the way from
the James River north of Roanoke,
Va., to Asheville, have been postponed
until June, 1951.
Until August 12, the Parkway will
dead-end at Mt. Mitchell, and to reach
Asheville it is necessary to detour via
U. S. 70. After August 12 it will be
a direct route between the 'Great
Smokies and Roanoke, Va., by use of
completed Parkway links and connect
ing scenic State and Federal highways.
The Parkway is already completed
from Roanoke to the North Carolina
line, and thence 60 miles to Deep Gap.
There the motorist deviates to U. S.
421 for six miles to the next link,
which is approximately six miles to
the outskirts of Blowing Rock—the
only large resort directly on the Park
way in North Carolina.
At Blowing Rock, U. S. forms the
connecting link about 17 miles long.
This is the famous Yonahlossee Trail,
a famous scenic highway following
the crest of the Blue Ridge. This con
verges with the Parkway again near
Grandfather Mountain.
From this intersection, the Parkway
proceeds past Mt. Mitchell, through
Craggy Gardens, for a distance of 84
miles to the intersection of N. C.
Highway 694, only six miles into Ashe
ville.
Thus, with excellent connecting
links, the Parkway after August 12
will offer 167 miles of unbroken
mountain-top driving from the Vir
ginia line to Asheville.
From Asheville, U. S. 19 is the di
rect route to the Great Smokies. This
crosses a new highway bridge thi-ough
West Asheville and goes west via Can
tor,, Waynesville, through Soco Gap
to Cherokee. The distance from Ashe
ville by this route to Cherokee, the en
trance to the Great Smoky Mountains
National Park on N. C. 107, is 53
miles. There are alternate routes with
very little additional mileage, one be
ing 19-A via Sylva.
Total distance via Parkway and con
necting routes from the Virginia line
to the Great Smoky Park is 220 miles,
all good road and with tourist accom
modations always within easy access.
There are no billboards on the Park
way, and no commercial traffic is per
mitted.
This new section, between Mt. Mit
chell and Asheville, about 30 miles
long, traverses some of the most
spectacular scenery on the Parkway.
Much of the highway is above 5,000
feet, and the scenery is rugged. There
are three vehicular tunnels on this
stretch, and an access road branches
off into a large parking area in Crag
gy Gardens, famous for its June
rhododendron display.
When completed, the Parkway will
link the Great 'Smoky Mountains and
Shenandoah National Parks with 477
miles of mountain-top boulevard. Most
of the uncompleted portion is west of
Asheville in North Carolina, but this
section is now bridged by U. S. 19 —an
excellent motor road, combining val
ley and mountain driving, and utilizing
the new scenic highway through Soco
Gap.
