We are closing in on Great Smokey Mountain NP at Milepost 469! So between Shenandoah NP and The Blue Ridge Parkway we traveled about 600 miles in a National Park and we are about to enter another National Park. You can travel these three NP’s with only a 1/2 mile outside, although you do need to leave the parks to fuel up and get groceries.
Before we leave Blue Ridge Parkway another hike and another waterfall.
That is the Parkway. We saw so much beauty and a few really cute communities. One town had the most amazing toy store, better than any other I have been to! The bummer was I can’t bring much home but I found a couple small things. And we found a very interesting ice cream shop that wasn’t very appealing on the outside. It was located all by itself and appeared to be just a warehouse. Inside was a bit dark but they had great ice cream and I even tried Kale/ Blueberry ice cream. It wasn’t green and it was sweet and creamy and had a blueberry flavor!
