Blue Ridge Parkway Detour Route for Motorcycles – July, 2013
There are more great motorcycle rides in the Blue Ridge & Smoky Mountains than anywhere else – discover them at http://smokymountainrider.com and find out how easy making the ride of your life can be! Blue Ridge Parkway Detour Route for Motorcycles – July, 2013
A section of the Blue Ridge Parkway north of Asheville, NC has closed due to a recent slope failure. Unprecedented rainfall in the region has triggered numerous slides, washed out roads and bridges, and caused some flooding in areas. The National Park Service detour routes traffic south and east of this long closed section of the parkway using US 221 through Marion, NC.
Usually, there is a better route than the “official Park Service Route”, as the park needs to factor in for the large RV’s which cannot easily negotiate steep climbs and sharp turns. Here is a map which highlights the most pleasant way for the motorcycle traveler to bypass the closed section of the Blue Ridge Parkway. It is also the most direct route so you miss as little as possible.
