The National Park Service has
selected a tentatlTe site for a
new hotel to be built in the Bluff
Park and believes its added ac
commodations would bring great
er appreciation of the Blue Ridge
Parkway to visitors. Actual con
struction must be accomplished
by private funds. A. E. Demaray,
associate director of the park
service said.
Demaray, pointing out that
development of the parkway
came after Carolinians discov
ered they had been missing beau
tiful natural vistas 'simply be
cause they seldom got up to the
Appa
lachians from where the real
scenery of the country could be
seen, said the probable site for
the new hotel and a separate
camp ground would be on the
edge of the plateau overlooking
off the 'Blue Ridge Parkway be
tween Sparta and North Wilkes-
boro. the Bluffs Park comprises
about 6,000 acres of plateau and
valley terrain.
Othei- Plans
The associate director also
said that plans were being con
sidered for constructing a tea
house and motor service center
at Rocky Knob Park. He added
that the park service could make
no statement at present as to
when these facilities ■would be
available, as they must be con
structed and operated privately
under the recommehdaliona
