Welcoming Visitors Back to the Blue Ridge Mountains Post-Hurricane Helene
Welcoming Visitors Back to the Blue Ridge Mountains Post-Hurricane Helene
The beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains have long been a cherished destination for travelers seeking tranquility, adventure, and a deep connection with nature. After Hurricane Helene swept through the region, affecting communities and beloved attractions, the road to recovery has been challenging. But as we move towards welcoming guests again in some areas as of October 17, we're ready to welcome back guests who make this area so special.
The Path to Reopening: Safety, Transparency, and a New Normal
The decision to reopen has been a carefully considered one. Our team, in partnership with local officials and service providers, has dedicated tremendous effort to ensure that roads, properties, and essential services are safe and accessible. However, it's important to acknowledge that the Blue Ridge experience may look a bit different right now. Guests can expect ongoing cleanup efforts, a slower pace in some services, and certain areas that are still under restoration.
Every property has been inspected, and we're taking steps to maintain safety and comfort, though the community is still in the recovery process. We're incredibly grateful for the kindness and patience our guests have shown and the unwavering support from our local community. Together, we're making progress and adapting to this new chapter, and we look forward to sharing the beautiful resilience of the Blue Ridge Mountains with you.
Our local businesses are working hard to welcome back guests and contribute to the area's recovery. Before you head out to support your favorite establishments, please remember to call them or check their direct website or social media pages before your visit for the latest updates on hours and services. Enjoy your time in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and thank you for supporting our economy during this time of rebuilding!
Current Travel Conditions
Road conditions across the Blue Ridge Mountains have improved significantly, although certain sections of the Blue Ridge Parkway remain closed. Travelers are encouraged to check DriveNC.gov and National Park Services for real-time updates on any road closures and advisories. Power, water, and cellular services are restored in most areas, with local businesses, grocery stores, and supply shops largely back in operation.
Making an Impact: Support for Local Recovery Efforts
Traveling to the Blue Ridge Mountains at this time provides essential support to the local economy, especially as communities rebuild and recover. If you feel called to do more, several organizations are actively supporting the recovery efforts in Western North Carolina:
MANNA FoodBank: Helping distribute food and essential supplies to families impacted by the hurricane.
North Carolina Community Foundation: Offering immediate relief and long-term support for recovery across affected communities.
Samaritan's Purse: Providing disaster relief and rebuilding assistance for impacted families.
We understand the importance of travel as a personal decision, and we fully respect any choice our guests make. Should you decide to visit, we want you to know that your stay has a lasting impact on the community, helping local businesses and individuals rebuild.
Looking Forward to Your Visit
As we reopen, we remain grateful for the resilience and generosity shown by everyone involved in our journey to recovery. Thank you for your empathy and support for the Blue Ridge Mountains. We look forward to welcoming you back to a place that feels like home, where the mountains continue to stand tall, ready for new memories and adventures.
