8 days Trip to Asheville and highlands, NC. We were obviously not able to visit a lot of places indicated on the trip planner but whatever was possible, it was worth it. NC is a very beautiful state.

Blue ridge pkwy access from Asheville, NC
OVERVIEW OF THE PARKWAY NEAR ASHEVILLE
You may take the Blue Ridge Parkway north or south from Asheville, and in either direction you will quickly climb the ridge and reach elevations of 5,000+. However, the higher stretches of the parkway are closed during the winter months (November-March), depending on the weather. There are five entrances to the parkway in the Asheville area. If you are taking the parkway to the north, take the entrance from U.S. 70 east of town (at Blue Ridge Parkway Milepost 382), and if you are heading south, take the entrance from Highway 191 near I-26 (at Blue Ridge Parkway Milepost 393). There are no exits onto the Blue Ridge Parkway from Interstate highways.
Milepost 382.6: US 70 crosses. Go east to find I-40 East or go to Black Mountain (10 miles). Head west into Asheville.
Milepost 384.7: US 74A crosses. Head east to Chimney Rock and Lake Lure (25 miles). Head west to find I-40 West.
Milepost 388.8: US 25 crosses. Travel north 3 miles to Biltmore Estate or south for I-26 South toward Hendersonville.
Milepost 393.6: NC 191 crosses. Go north for Asheville and I-26.
