The Road To The Pisgah Inn

We always take a drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway 

during leaf season. We pick a bright sunny day.

 The drive winds around the mountains.

 It has spectacular views.

It's a must every October.

Thru the Pisgah National Forest.

The highest elevation is 6053 feet.

We drive on to our destination.

The Pisgah Inn for lunch. 

There's always a wait, but it's worth it.

(pictures thru a window do not do it justice)

We sit and look over miles and miles of mountain views.

Then take the drive down.

A perfect day in the mountains!

Scenic Drive Day

Since the Fall Foliage report said that the colors are at their peak we decided to take a drive. We took the
Cherohala Skyway, "A Drive Above the Clouds" from North Carolina thru the Nantahala National Forest into the Cherokee National Forest in Tennessee.

Of course we took the doggies along.

 The road switchbacked the mountains.

It was a beautiful sunny, warm day.

 We made it to the the top.

I can see my house from here!

Great fall views.

I thought ahead and put a pot roast in the crock pot before we left. When we got home hungry at 7:00pm
 it was ready. It's always good to walk in the door and smell something delicious cooking.  For the recipe click on  Rita's Recipes .
