WNC Driving Distances
Travel Distances and Times from Area Airports to Asheville and Western North Carolina Towns

All of the WNC driving distances and times are estimates for point-to-point travel on primary highways and roads, or on major secondary roads. If you choose to leave the highways and drive more of the areas scenic mountain roads, or take the Blue Ridge Parkway, the WNC driving distances and times will almost certainly increase.

So use the WNC Driving Distances that follow as a guide to help you plan your trip. The travel time estimates are based on average travel speeds when the roads are clear with good weather and moderate traffic levels. Mountain roads are often twisty, with elevation changes and curves as the roads follow the contours of the mountains, so take your time and enjoy the scenery as you travel. We hope that you will choose to drive the scenic mountain roads whenever you have the time and inclination.
