Blue Ridge Parkway Vistas
Have you ever wondered what mountain peaks you were actually seeing as you enjoy the view from one of the many beautiful overlooks along the Blue Ridge Parkway? Are you curious how high those mountains are and how far away one is from the other? This book is designed to answer those questions and much more. It is a driving guide to the Parkway, featuring views from more than 48 of the most spectacular overlooks along its 469-mile track through North Carolina and Virginia and from surrounding attractions, with information about what you are viewing and nearby points of interest such as waterfalls, visitor centers, craft shops, and museums. Tim Barnwell identifies the mountain peaks you can see from each overlook, marking their compass heading, distance, and elevation. Major roads, rivers, lakes, and towns are also identified.
Great Smoky Mountains Vistas
In Great Smoky Mountains Vistas, Tim Barnwell combines panoramic photographs from overlooks in and around the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, aerial photographs of western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee, and articles on popular area attractions and activities to create this unique and comprehensive guidebook. He identifies the mountain peaks you can see from overlooks along Newfound Gap Road, Foothills Parkway, and Blue Ridge Parkway that view the park, in Cataloochee Valley and Cades Cove, and 360-degree/6-page panoramic views from Clingmans Dome and Max Patch. Major roads, trails, rivers, lakes, and towns are also identified. Aerial views of the Smokies from above Fontana Dam, Cades Cove, Gatlinburg, Cherokee, Max Patch and Cataloochee Valley are also included.
