At 469 miles in length with elevation ranging from less than 1000 feet to over 6000 feet, road conditions on the Parkway can vary widely, depending on weather conditions, roadway repairs, bridge repairs, detours, and more. Because of this, the National Park Service has prepared an interactive map that will highlight major road closures and other adverse driving conditions.
