America's Favorite Drive
A Blue Ridge Parkway experience is unlike any other: a slow-paced and relaxing drive revealing stunning long-range vistas and close-up views of the rugged mountains and pastoral landscapes of the Appalachian Highlands. The Parkway meanders for 469 miles, protecting a diversity of plants and animals, and providing opportunities for enjoying all that makes this region of the country so special.
Sept 6 2012We have just begun to take this parkway in with a 20 mile drive up to Waterrock Knob. The short drive up to Waterrock Knob was just enough to tell us we want to drive the whole Parkway.
