Fall color is here!
The leaves are changing all over the mountains around Asheville. Its beautiful with all the orange, yellow and red fall colors. If you are coming to Asheville to see the Fall colors here, now is the time. The Blue Ridge Parkway is a popular scenic drive this time of year. There 4 entrances to the parkway here in Ashville. Be aware that people will drive slower on the parkway to look at the scenery especially the tourists. The speed limit is 45 miles per hour. And you best keep to the speed not only cause of the curvy mountainous road and the bicycle riders that tend to stay in the road here but the park rangers will get you. I was pulled one day a long time ago cause I went over the speed limit by 2 mph. Fortunately, I got by with a warning. If you are in a hurry, take another route. The interstate highway is very conveniently located throughout the city so most everything in the area is a short drive away. The weather is cool, in the lower 70’s. You will need a sweater or light jacket.
