I found my stuff from when we first went camping down the ridge....
suggested camping stops that give you about 100 miles of driving a day
and nice places to explore...
PEaks of Otter (mile 86)
Rocky Knob (169)
Julian PRice MEMorial Park (297) or LInville Falls at mile 316
Mt Pisgah at mile 408
Mt Pisgah is a real treat and you do get views there. Our tent was
pitched cozily surrounded by Rhodies blooming
when we did it in early June.
Anyway, hope this helps a bit

There are a couple of things going on here. Obe is that Google
tries to give you the fastest route between your origin and the
destination, so you're likely to end up on interstate highways.
If you force the route to go along Skyline drive (by dragging
intermediate points), you'll see another one of the contributing
factors. The driving directions get red-flagged with the message
"This road my be seasonally closed".
I think the "fastest route" is the problem.
Google's search engine (and that's what the "Get Directions" is) isn't
adaptive enough to figure out that if someone selects two points at
either end of a scenic byway, you're not looking for the "fastest route".
There's an option to "Avoid highways" and one to "Avoid tolls".
How about an option to "Take scenic route"?
The red flag for "This road my be seasonally closed" doesn't bother
me. I'm not planning a trip for when the roads will be closed, and I
already knew about it. Having that additional information doesn't make
the directions less useful.
