Why go now
At $536 per person round trip, or $1,071 for two, this fare is $36 above the $500 median of our earlier checks on this route, and we saw it as low as $430 on Oct 12. So it isn't a bargain. It's a fair price for a weekend that's hard to get cheap. October brings peak fall foliage on the Blue Ridge Parkway, and these are the busiest weekends in Asheville. The forecast shows a high of 81°F on Friday, then 58°F on Saturday and Sunday, with lows down to 34°F and little rain. That's crisp weather for hiking and driving the Parkway, and a real change from San Juan. The best-value room is $532 for both nights with breakfast. Heads-up: the flight times are tight, so Saturday is your only full day on the ground.
The kind of trip this is
This is a nature and food getaway in the mountains: fall color on the Parkway, a short hike, a brewery crawl and live bluegrass at night. It suits a couple or a pair of friends who don't mind a fast pace, since you'll pack the trip into one full Saturday. Bring layers. It's a cool-weather weekend for people coming from the tropics.
