According to an article in the Asheville Citizen-Times (which I won’t link to anymore since they delete their articles from their web site after a few days), the Blue Ridge Parkway between the Craggy Gardens Picnic Area will be reopening (albeit 1 lane at the landslide site) on May 15. The official word to the public from the National Park Service is “Late Spring 2009”, so I expect that date is subject to change. This is great news – lots of trails along that section have been inaccessible for the last two years. We will let you know when the actual reopening takes place!
