The Blue Ridge Parkway, sometimes called "America's
Favorite Drive", provides both stunning scenery
and close-up looks at the natural and cultural history
of the southern Appalachian mountains. It is designed
as a drive-awhile and stop-awhile experience, so
please don't be in a hurry.
The Parkway meanders for 469 miles and connects
Shenandoah and Great Smoky Mountains National Parks,
providing ample opportunities for stops at overlooks,
picnic and camping facilities, trails, and wonderful
cultural and natural areas. The park information
number at (828) 298 0398 is your best source for
up-to-date information on special events or what
is blooming along the Parkway. |
