This year winter temperatures have been in the 50′s, 60′s and even 70′s which gives no excuse to get out on the highway and enjoy the scenic by-ways. The Blue Ridge Parkway is just a stones throw from Rock-n-Creek Cabin which is biker friendly and offers secured covered parking for those treasures. Don’t wait till spring when there’s great weather now to get in the wind. Give us a call and make plans to visit our cabin ride to Crabtree Falls and experience the Parkway in winter.
