How did a caboose get to downtown Banner Elk? Clinchfield Caboose #1024 was in service with the Hampton Railroad Car Company from 1948-1964, making 5000 trips between Spartanburg, SC and Elkhorn, KY before being replaced by one of the new, lighter alumninum rail cars. In 1971, a young entrepreneur named Oscar G. Mason, III bought the caboose to use as a men's and women's clothing store. It's now home to Callista Flower Co. History by the Greater Banner Elk Heritage Foundation.

Here’s your friendly reminder that not all fall color comes in leaf form! When visiting the mountain, make sure to look high and low! Late wildflowers are in bloom right now, some especially colorful fungi are present in the park and the mountain ash berries, as seen in this photo, are currently a rich red hue. This shot was taken this week at Half Moon Overlook.

Beginning, May 15, park visitors and neighbors can expect full closures with detours in place between mileposts 229.6 to 238.5. These closures are related to a major infrastructure project underway in a 75-mile section of the Blue Ridge Parkway from milepost 229.6, just north of Doughton Park, to milepost 305.1, near Grandfather Mountain. The 75-mile project will be phased with a staggered series of closures, allowing for continuous access to recreation areas and visitor amenities within the project area.

The $98 million project is a three-year repaving and rehabilitation project along the mainline motor road that will also address drainage structures, curbs, walks, shoulders, guardrails, overlooks, and signage. Funding for this project comes from the Great American Outdoors Act’s (GAOA) Legacy Restoration Fund. GAOA is part of a concerted effort to address the extensive maintenance backlog in national parks.

Detour maps and more information are available on the parkway's website.
