Taking a trip to the Blue Ridge Parkway? If so, check out the Blue Ridge Parkway Association‘s online trip planner. Their website is a trove of information.

An interactive map is one of the most useful features, and it serves as an online trip planner. First, use the filters to view any combination of lodging, sites and restaurants. You can download their app. Good news, the app works with or without cell serviceon the BRP. With the app, you will always know what’s coming up along the 469-mile, scenic drive.

Other planning tools on the BRP Association website include blogs and articles. They keep you updated on special events, unique places and special sites to see. There are listings as well that will help you find motels, B&B’s, cabins and campgrounds. Researching those lists will help you plan the perfect get-a-way.

Most importantly, the website is organized by region. So, you can do a deep-dive into the area of the BRP you plan to visit, whether its the Ridge, Plateau, Highlands or Pisgah. If you’re not sure about the region you want to visit, you can look into specific topics such bicycling, hiking, music or family fun.

The BRP Association also has print directories and a variety of brochures. You can find them online, and they are available by mail. You can also can pick them up at parkway businesses and attractions as you travel.
