My Raleigh friends recommended two state parks in the Asheville area. Mount Mitchell (highest point east of the Mississippi) is an hour’s cruise up the peaceful Blue Ridge Parkway and another 3 miles up a winding access road. Chimney Rock overlooks the transition as Appalachian mountains and ravines spill out into the Piedmont region. I climbed about 700 (vertical) steps to Chimney Rock and beyond to the aptly named Devils Head.

Believe it or not, just yesterday I was reviewing the brochure for Blue Ridge Parkway, and someone asked about one of the overlooks, which I think was chimney rock, and she thought it was on the wrong side of the road. Your photograph proves that she was right. Thank you!
