Roanoke Travel Tips
Roanoke travel tips courtesy of GeckoGo
  • The traffic there gets crazy, so plan extra time in your travels. Also, you often will not see a sign until right when you need to make a turn, so have an alert passenger to help you navigate.  Stephanie T.
  • Roanoke is fun, but watch out for their thunder and lightning storms during summer!  Cody Ernst
  • This is one of the cutest towns to visit, especially at Halloween.  They have a town-wide pumpkin carving contest and street festival.  Stay at the Hotel Roanoke to get the most out of this charming town.  Leanne T.
