I love this picture since it shows the sun's rays on the mountains.
Look at all of the mountain ranges. WOW!
This area is just so different --at these higher elevations --from the photos I showed you yesterday. Since I love both colors in Fall --and since I also love seeing the high mountain ranges, I think we saw the 'best of all worlds' on this day on the parkway.
I hope you have enjoyed these photos as much as I have enjoyed showing them to you. If you get to go on the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina, please include the area around Mt. Pisgah in your travels.
Finally, this is Looking Glass Rock (milepost 418, near Brevard, NC). I have blogged about Looking Glass Rock before. Click HERE to read about this interesting rock.
I hope you have enjoyed seeing my photos from the Blue Ridge Parkway. We turned around at the Mt Pisgah Visitor Center, drove back to Maggie Valley and had a delicious dinner at the Maggie Valley Restaurant.
Hugs,

Good Morning, I really enjoyed your pretty pictures Betsy. I hope you have a very nice day.
I have probably been to that high point but can't remember for sure. I was on the Blue Ridge Parkway in 1995 and was totally enthralled with all of it.
Except for a couple of years in South Jersey, I've always live in or near the mountains and can't imagine being anywhere else.
I hope some day Larry and I will be able to ride thru the mountains down your way. Such a beautiful area! God is good giving us such awesome beauty to enjoy (and care for!)
Lovely pictures again Betsy! The mountains are spectacular and the Courthouse Rock is just like our highways where the road has been blasted through and the sides are just like your picture!!
That is sure some beautiful scenery Betsy! I must admit, that is much more exciting then my flat prairie land! :)
Happy Tuesday!

Thank you for sharing. Your pictures are lovely. Sure hope someday to see the Parkway for myself.
Awesome pictures Betsy. When ever I see scenes like that, I try to imagine what the pioneers thought when they saw it. Wonder if they saw the beauty or just an impossibly difficult trip ahead.
Glad I am living today and can enjoy the beauty.
Have a great Thanksgiving.
I think the Blue Ridge Parkway is one of the most beautiful scenic views around. Our family really enjoyed getting out and taking in the views on our trip last yr. Our next goal...sliding rock! lol
Love the memories your photos brought back for me. Have a very blessed Thanksgiving my friend
I tried to count all those magnificent mountain ranges and I think it's between 8 and 10 on one of the photos. my fav for today is Looking glass rock, the sky is gorgeous, the trees in the foreground, a lovely lovely photo
Very nice trip, Betsy! We saw that big rock but you showed it up close and personal! Happy Thanksgiving to you and George!
Good Morning,
Being a North Carolinian, I am proud of the photos (very beautiful by the way) you shared. We recently took a trip to Boone and Blowing Rock which is always a feast for your eyes.
Beautiful Betsy...I like the one showing the suns rays also...reminds me of a "slide to Heaven"...
So beautiful seeing all those mountain ranges. Thanks for showing us your great trip.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful pictures of the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Mountains, waterfalls, and water: gifts of God in nature that I never tire of looking at.
I just showed my junior general English class the movie The Last of the Mohicans. One boy asked if that place actually existed ---the place where most of the end action takes place. I said, "Yes, it just doesn't look like that in most places, because of civilization.
My favorite part is at the end where they are looking over the mountains and Chinchachook talks about the future and the disappearance of the 'frontier': a sad but true commentary. The view is breathtaking and could be one of your photos.
It is real nice to see this area. Looking through someones elses eyes and as you caught such a nice day all made these shots remarkable.
What a spectacular area to visit. The mountain ranges are amazing. This is some place I would love to see in person.
Thanks for sharing :)

Hello!How are You?!I enjoyed very much...
Wonderful post and wonderful photos!
Dear Friend ,thank You very much for Your comments in my blog...
I put the photos of the canyon Shamkir region in my blog caucasusgeography ...Your opinion is very important for me...
Beautiful shots. As always:)
I am sipping a pumpkin spice latte from Starbuck's and enjoying your photos. I love seeing those mountain ranges when the mist hangs in their valleys. I've seen these vistas so many times and appreciate them even more since there's not a mountain within a 150 mile radius from my current home!!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Best,
Bonnie
Beautiful scenes!!
Very beautiful photos, Betsy! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Hugs,

Your photos are stunning, Betsy. I especially love the one with the emanating sun rays---it has a look of holiness about it.
The trail to Devil's Courthouse is indeed wonderful. As is the view at the top...
Wonderful shots Betsy, reminds me of Austria.
All of them great photos, but I really love the one of "Looking Glass Rock."
Those pictures are the best yet from your trip. Hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Betsy,
I sure have enjoyed the fall tour of the Blue Ridge Parkway.
I hope you have a blessed Thanksgiving.
Well, I'm glad at least that you didn't go into the Devil's Courthouse!! Of course you would have been found innocent, but nevertheless...Wow!! You actually got sunbeams shining down on the mountain!
The scenery in this area is astounding.
I am sure I could not pick a favorite,from this bunch.
Thanks for sharing these images.
Blessings,Ruth
Those mountain ranges seem to go on forever. I also love the sun's rays on the mountains and Glass Rock in the fall, wow! Really enjoyed all of your Blue Ridge Pkway pics, thank you!
Such beautiful scenery. It takes my breath away.

Hi Betsy, Looks so wonderful! I want to go there! Have a super day tomorrow! Glad we are getting rain here.
Very pretty pictures, Betsy. I like the one with the sun's rays coming down too. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family! :)
LOVE the picture with the sun's rays coming through. Great shots!
Those beautiful pictures bring back good memories Betsy!
Betsy, absolutely lovely pictures of the mountain ranges! And Patti looks like a midget ? Or is it just the fact that George and Neal are huge men? ☺
Beautiful pictures. What a wonderful trip that must have been. Thanks for sharing with us.
I've yet to be able to get a good shot of the suns rays through a group of clouds. Love that picture!!
This is exquisitely beautiful - all those mountain ranges - unbelievable! Thanks for sharing!!

I love these shots, Betsy. I love the row after row of hills. And of course the colors are incredible. Thanks so much for sharing them with us.
Happy Thanksgiving on Thursday. MB
Since I see short sleeves in your first photo it must have been a warm day. Those are some really beautiful views from that overlook. That is a gorgeous photo of Looking Glass Rock.
I have hiked up to the Devil's Courthouse, if it's the one I remember it is well worth the hike.
Those vistas are fascinating.
Wish I could see them in person oneday!!
These really are some awesome shots..and you bet I have really enjoyed each and every one!
I love the magnificent light in the last photo, and the rows and rows of mountains make a fantastic view!
Simply breathtakingly beautiful. I so love those photos of the mountains in awesome foliage. They are lovely.
Wow, wow, and more wow!! Looking Glass Rock is especially spectacular!
Lovely mountain photos! The light on them was really pretty.
