Blue Ridge Parkway and US 21 North Carolina

Executive wrote:
We are planning on heading down the Blue Ridge Parkway from the Cumberland Knob recreation area in North Carolina to US Hwy 21 and then taking that south to Statesville, North Carolina. We prefer to stay off the Interstates if possible, as we've found the secondary roads to be more scenic, historical and enjoyable.

Is this route compatible with our rig?..:h...we are 65' long with the toad and 13'1" high..I am experienced with mountain driving etc.....I welcome any comments...thanks...Dennis

I haven't driven it, but I did do a little research getting ready to drive the BRP. Came across this page that gives the tunnel clearances. Note that there are a couple where the clearance at the edge strip is in the 10-12' range. Hope this helps: Blue Ridge Parkway Tunnel Clearances
