A New Opportunity For Graveyard Fields
This popular destination has been popular for as long as I can remember, and becomes more popular with each passing year — more cars, more people, and more trash. But what a great place to stretch your legs, enjoy great views, and have an almost serene over night camping experience within a few hundred yards of your car.
The Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation wants this experience to be sustained and has invested in a study (which will actually become a funded project). In the months ahead, we can expect a restroom (pretty much designated for to-the-falls hikers), improved signage and trail maps, and new padded campsites for designated and restricted camping. The campsite component will probably occur in 2009.
Please join us! We want to hear your concerns about this favorite Parkway destination.
