The Blue Ridge Parkway is part of the National Parks Systems and is known as “Americas Favorite Drive”. It winds 469 miles along the crest of the southern Appalachian Mountains taking you by meadows and overlooks with spectacular views of distant mountains and valleys. There are historic sites, old farmsteads, trails to hike and picnic and camping areas. It was the nation’s first and longest rural parkway linking two other eastern national parks- The Shenandoah National Park in Virginia and The Great Smokey Mountain National Park in North Carolina. |
