Tunnels on Blue Ridge Pkwy.

I've driven the entire PKWY many times. The section from Cherokee to Fancy Gap has the steepest hills. The entire Pkwy has rather narrow roads, with lots of blind corners and fairly tight bends. The speed limit is 45 most of the time. Its doable with just about any rig but much more enjoyable with a car or truck. You will be sharing the road with lots of people on bicycles and motor cycles so the driver has to pay close attention. There are few long straight segments any where, but from Fancy Gap north its is much easier until you get to the Skyline Drive section if you are going that far. There are no hookups or showers at the campgrounds. You can get water from a spigot. Most of the campgrounds are best for tents and small RVs. A few, like Linville Falls have plenty of room. I have camped at almost all the campgrounds the full length. Its a great alternative route if you can take your time. I did it once with a big Montana 5ver but wouldn't again. Much more fun with something smaller. The scenic pull overs (there are many) are not very accomadating for big rigs. The favorite ones are often packed with cars, etc. Almost every year there is at least one segment that is closed for construction and the detour can be a major pain of small back roads. Consider staying at a full service RV parks along the way and driving up on segments for day trips with your truck.
