BLUE RIDGE PARKWAY: A road trip to America’s BEST DRIVE
EDITORIAL SUMMARY
A motorcycle journey along the Blue Ridge Parkway, with stops focused on places to stay and sights along the way. This episode of Got2Go’s “EPIC EAST COAST – USA” series pairs the ride with visits to Little Switzerland and Grandfather Mountain.
About this film
Filmed during a journey in May and June 2022, the 25-minute film follows a road trip on a Yamaha Ténéré 700. The Blue Ridge Parkway is presented as a scenic drive stretching from North Carolina to Virginia, while the episode also offers practical travel interest through its attention to accommodation and places to visit. It is an instalment in a motorcycle journey rather than a standalone bike review.
The journey
The route approaches the parkway after a night in Chapel Hill, then enters near Asheville, North Carolina. From there, the film travels to Little Switzerland, highlighting the Alpine Inn and its mountain views. A ride to the Chestoa viewpoint adds another stop on the parkway before the journey continues to Grandfather Mountain and its Mile-High Swinging Bridge. The episode’s stops bring together road riding, overnight accommodation and sightseeing along this stretch of the Blue Ridge.
