Is Ellijay close enough for a day trip to drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway for a few hours? Thanks for the video!

The closest Parkway access would be in Cherokee, which is about 2 hours away. Thanks for watching, we appreciate it!

How in the world do you do a feature on Maggie Valley and NOT mention one of the best attractions there? DWTT or Dale's Wheels Through Time is un unbelievable collection of historical motorcycles. From the earliest days of Indian, Traub, Excelsior etc. through WWII and the 50's and 60's. It's worth going even if you're not a gearhead! Dale Walksler R.I.P founded the museum, and his son Matt now does a phenomenal job of keeping everything running and restoring new finds. So cool.

How long is the walk to the Falls?
@Blueridgemountainlife Ай бұрын
Hi - It's about 3 miles roundtrip all the way down, but you don't have to go that far to see the falls, maybe 1.5-2 miles roundtrip. There are a lot of stairs. Thanks for watching!

@@dandtintennessee7675 You basically take the Parkway from Maggie Valley heading towards Cherokee. Then turn right on Balsam Mountain Road. Take the first dirt road on your right. that will take you onto Mollie's Gap road. The next intersection you reach is Hyatt Creek Road. We went right.

Wow. Stumbled across this video. So probably I think back in 1981 or maybe 82. Just after my Mom divorced my dad. He and I drove this road together in a 77 Silverado. I have not been on that road since. It will be a trip with my Dad I will never forget. Both my parents are passed. My mission now is to drive this rd with my now adult kids. That trip with just me and my Dad will forever be one of my favorite memories. Bless you for posting this.
