How to Use the Blue Ridge Parkway Travel Planner App

The app is designed to help you explore the Parkway by region, activity, or proximity to your location. Access detailed information for the Parkway’s four major regionsRidge, Plateau, Highlands, and Pisgah — as well as the Shenandoah National Park region (near the Parkway’s northern end) and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park region (near the Parkway’s southern end).

Text information on the app is accessible with or without cell signal; however, there are several stretches along the Parkway where cell service may be limited or unavailable. 

For a small, one-time fee of $1.99, you can download offline maps for peace of mind during your drive. These maps are designed to help you navigate and locate points of interest, even if you’re traveling through a remote area. This fee helps offset the Blue Ridge Parkway Association’s cost of providing offline map access to Parkway visitors.
