Little Switzerland

More of the Blue Ridge Parkway is reopening for peak fall tourism after damage from Helene two years ago.

New access includes sections near Linville Falls and North Carolina State Highway 80, along with a stretch from Little Switzerland into Virginia.

Near Boone and Blowing Rock, Deep Gap Bridge and parts of Julian Price Campground are open again.

Officials say 458 of the parkway's 469 miles are open.

I gotta be honest.

Of course, our JAM folks get a very, very discounted rate.

But if folks want information about that, it's also on our website at jamkids.org. And that's coming up September 21st through the 24th in Little Switzerland, North Carolina.

We also work with IBMA.

We'll be assisting with the annual event there in Chattanooga in mid-October.

... we start to run, uh, you know, running down what's called the rattler, or the diamondback, which is, uh, 226 and 226A.

Uh, they'll run all around Little Switzerland, and then from-

Oh, man.

Oh.
