The Blue Ridge Parkway and the Dragon's Tail are both in the same area. Very beautiful with waterfalls and as Paul said the fall is the most beautiful time of the year to visit there. Get you a pair of polarized sun glasses as they will enhance the changing of the colors greatly. The great Smoky Mountains is simply breath taking, especially, that time of year. They had horrendous wildfires there recently and I don't know how long before it completely recovers, but one thing I do know and that is once it recovers, it will be more beautiful than ever. All the other places Mr. Paul mentioned are just as beautiful, as well. Come on over, we'd love to meet you. Your southern redneck scooter buddy...
