Default Re: Blue Ridge Parkway/ Skyline Drive

Grandfather mountain is named for the profile that looks like an old man, not an actual grandfather. It is worth paying to drive to the top and walk across the suspension bridge. Make sure your brakes are good and use low gear coming and going. The road to the top has some sharp turns and is steep.
