Road Trip: Blue Ridge Parkway Waterfalls, North Carolina
We couldn't resist renting a car and driving to the mountains. Mission: Waterfalls!
Our first stop was Boone, N.C. We then drove south on the Blue Ridge Parkway, a scenic mountain drive (East Coast mountains = 3,000 ft tall). Blowing Rocks is a very small, paid attraction consisting of a rock and garden.

Beautiful scenery! That first photo is very cute as well. I'm glad you are doing some fun things and everyone is getting exercise during your boat projects! Now that we are in New Mexico, 3000 ft mountains appear small! :-)
ReplyDeleteWe descended Sandia Peak (maybe Matt knows the Sandia Mountains?), which is over 10,000 feet, on Sunday. It was an incredibly long and hot walk and our muscles are still hurting! Not as green as North Carolina! :-)
Yes, Matt knows it well. His family is from the four corners area. He told me NM is just dirt, and I couldn't fathom exactly how brown it is until I saw it for myself. Beautiful in a desolate way, but I do love to see trees.
DeleteBeautiful waterfalls! Do we have a favorite scenic highway? Indeed we do: Beartooth Pass in Montana.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see Montana!
