Linn Cove Viaduct
an S-curve bridge that floats around Grandfather Mountain
Linn Cove Viaduct is one of the places Roamward flags on the Blue Ridge Parkway because it gives the drive its texture: an S-curve bridge that floats around Grandfather Mountain. Use it as a planned pull-over instead of letting the route become a blur between towns.
How it fits the drive
The Blue Ridge Parkway runs Shenandoah, VA → Great Smoky Mountains, NC. America’s favorite drive, ridge to ridge.
