Waynesville, North Carolina
Near the Balsam Gap entrance to the Blue Ridge Parkway at 3,300 feet. This section of the parkway closes in any winter weather because of snow and ice at the higher elevations. Drive a few miles away from this spot and the snow is almost a foot deep with large ice chunks hanging from the tunnel entrances. This entrance is off The Great Smokey Mountains Expressway near Waynesville, NC.
