SVC-curated ways to explore the Blue Ridge
Some of the best experiences in the mountains do not require a tour. We can help you build scenic drives and waterfall stops into your getaway based on how active or relaxed you want your weekend to be.
Pisgah Waterfall Drive
SELF-GUIDED · WATERFALLS + SCENERY
A flexible drive through Pisgah National Forest with stops such as Looking Glass Falls and surrounding scenic areas. A strong option for couples and families who want waterfalls and mountain scenery without committing to a long hike.
Route: Blue Ridge Parkway South → US 276 → Pisgah National Forest
Craggy Gardens Fall Color Drive
SELF-GUIDED · FALL COLOR + OVERLOOKS
Head north from Asheville on the Blue Ridge Parkway toward Craggy Gardens for high-elevation scenery, overlooks, and early-season fall color. A great choice for travelers who want a scenic mountain day with little or no hiking required.
Parkway to Graveyard Fields
SELF-GUIDED · SCENIC DRIVE + OPTIONAL HIKING
Follow the Blue Ridge Parkway south toward the Mount Pisgah and Graveyard Fields area for mountain views, fall scenery, waterfalls, and the option to add a hike depending on your comfort level and available time.
Scenic routes and Parkway access are subject to weather, seasonal closures, and current road conditions. We recommend checking current National Park Service road status before departure.
Want a little more planned for you?
We’ve also curated a small collection of optional experiences for travelers who want to add a guided adventure, local experience, or something different to their weekend. Choose what interests you — or skip the tours entirely and enjoy the mountains at your own pace.
