Flying the Blue Ridge Parkway

Stretching almost 500 miles, the Blue Ridge Parkway is a work of art in itself, a road passing through the highest terrain in the Southeast and snaking along the Blue Ridge Mountains. Sandwiched on both sides by national parks with their own scenic highways, the author found that his personal passion for these parkways couldn't be contained by driving them alone. Called by stunning views and aggressive terrain, Garrett Fisher flew his 1949 Piper PA-11 from Gatlinburg, TN to Front Royal, VA photographing the Parkway from above. Intent on capturing the true essence of the foreboding terrain surrounding the Parkway, the author battled menacing cloud formations and wind on multiple flights to capture scenes that best represent the experience: mystical, stunning, majestic, and beautiful. Containing detailed maps and 83 images, the book is a journey from the air of the Blue Ridge Parkway, US 441 in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Skyline Drive in Shenandoah National Park, and Cherohala Skyway in southwest North Carolina.

About the Author
An all around maniac, Garrett Fisher is an adventure pilot, aerial photographer, author, and top it all off, an economics enthusiast. With an insatiable thirst for adventure, he has lived on the Pacific Coast in Ecuador, near 10,000 feet in the Rockies, on an Atlantic Ocean barrier island with no roads, and now in a pilot community in remote Wyoming near Yellowstone. An author of 8 books, he is currently involved in writing more books than he can count including a novel, another economics manifesto, and a slew of aerial photography works of treasured places in the American West. He can be found with his MacBook sitting next to a freezing cold mountain stream, wandering the sky in his poorly heated antique airplane, hiding above timberline, or lost in the woods.
