There are 4 Blue Ridge Parkway entrances near Asheville. Consider visiting in Summer, as in June and early July, the Rhododendrons are in bloom blanketing the mountainsides with vivid color. But when making your travel plans to the Asheville NC area you must also consider Spring for the unique beauty of Biltmore Estates with the gardens blooming. Winter can not be overlooked either for ski buffs looking for North Carolina ski resorts. Consider Wolf Laurel ski resort which is about 30 minutes from Asheville or popular Boone NC.
