Alex...No, you were on Skyline Dr., the section of the BRPkway quite a
bit north of us, in VA. (Also much lower elevation.)

Our house/"view point" in the pics, is at 5,000 ft elev., and we are looking
across the valley at 6,000 to 6,100 ft of elev. on those high peaks.

The final 60 miles or so, of the Blue Ridge Parkway from Asheville, NC, to its
"end" in Cherokee,NC, includes the "high point" of the BRPkway at 6100 ft. That
last 60 miles is way south of where I suspect you were tooling.
Hey, we never did hear about your trip!
