Absolutely love the BRP. I usually take a top to bottom trip (mile marker 0 to 469) every year or so. I didn’t make it this year because of back issues, but hopefully, next year!
I bypassed Roanoke to the southeast from route 220 south
of Roanoke to route 460 east of Roanoke on the BRP.
It made for a pleasant commute. Just had to be on the
lookout for deer though. Never hit any up there, but I came close.
