1) Asheville to Roanoke (via Blue Ridge Parkway) 2) Spend the day at Roanoke. 3) Roanoke to Charlottesville (via Blue Ridge Parkway) 4) Spend the day at Charlottesville.

Dear Robert, Sunrise is defined as the moment the top of the sun's disc first breaks the plane of the horizon in the morning, and sunset is when the top of the sun's disc sinks below the horizon in the evening.
The sunrise is the exact instant at which the upper edge of the Sun becomes visible over the eastern horizon, in the morning. It's also called sun up. With sunset we refer to the instant when the trailing edge of the Sun stops being visible and disappears below the western horizon in the evening.
