Amazing, kolsch!! After coming off the Appalachian Trail at Ashby Gap, I stopped by for a pint and had the best kolsch thus far in my life (38 years old). I would later find out their kolsch recently won 2nd place in the world. Do yourself a solid and go have a pint!

This is where the Blue Ridge Parkway is headquartered, and it's amazing! It's a must stop if you're in the Asheville and a fond BRP traveler. And don't forget to stop at the gift shop. Safe travels!

Located on-site with the Blue Ridge Parkway Headquarters. This visitor center is a must stop as you adventure along one of America's greatest road systems! What makes it special is that it gives you a wonderful look into the history of the Parkway and people of Appalachia. There's also a gift shop. Be careful in there because it's easy to spend a bunch of money. If you find yourself in that situation, justify it by telling yourself, "I'm supporting Parks." :-) Also, there are Park Rangers all around, which makes it a lot of fun for kids.

Adventure awaits! Be safe, have fun, and support the Parks!

Not a bad short stroll in the woods. The last mile is somewhat steep. The view from the summit is pretty awesome. I only wish the communication tower wasn't up there, and the brush was trimmed down for a better view. If you have never been to the summit, it's worth hiking up. Happy trails!!
