The Blue Ridge Parkway + Skyline Drive: A Four Day Solo Motorcycle Camping Trip

The Blue Ridge Parkway, nicknamed “America’s Favorite Drive,” is a 469-mile scenic byway that traverses the Blue Ridge Mountains between Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Shenandoah National Park. I took a 4-day solo motorcycle camping trip to ride the Parkway plus Skyline Drive to see the area’s incredible Fall foliage. If you’re looking for a great motorcycle ride, the Blue Ridge Parkway offers incredible scenery of North Carolina and Virginia!

Check out my last video, where I explored the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee and North Carolina aboard my Harley-Davidson Low Rider ST, here:    • The Smoky Mountains on a Harley-Davidson |...
