Yep, BRP remains open to traffic for the time being. But it's just the roads, overlooks, views, and trails. No visitors' centers, CG's, CG stores, or restrooms. I don't know whether the rangers are still patrolling or not, or at what level. Fall colors are reported to be good a higher elevations in NC (don't know about VA).
We've got rain in the forecast for overnight and in the morning, clearing after that for the week with low 70's for in-town highs. Should be a _great_ week for a trip.
