Next week I fly to Myrtle Beach, SC; I will drive a car back to MI. I have to be back in MI by 1200 6/21/11.
How many days should be allotted for the Blue Ridge Parkway on the return trip? Any?
Does anyone know the average drive time to complete the near 500 miles? 15 hrs?
Any suggestions for the, "not to be missed", along the way, are greatly appreciated.
How much time(hrs., days), does it take, in areas such as, Clingmans' Dome, the Cherokee area, The Natural Bridge area, Skyline Drive and SNP area, side trip to Damascus to hike parts of the Creeper Trail and/or AT, etc., to get a good sample of the wonders, in just that 4-5 days timeframe.
To clarify the above, say I'm in Cherokee. I want to drive to Clingmans Dome, do the hike to the platform, take pics, etc. Then I drive back to Cherokee.
How much time would this journey take? The same for The Natural Bridge area? etc.
Also, if anyone needs a ride, in that timeframe, send a PM, to explore those possibilities.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts, or slams, you http://hikinghq.net/forum/images/smilies2/adore.gif have to offer.
