The Blue Ridge Parkway has to be one of the most scenic drives in America. Running from Waynesboro, VA, to Asheville, NC, it winds through the heart of Appalachia. "Winds" in the operative word because the roadway is two lanes wide and follows the contour of the mountain slopes. It is beautifully maintained with frequent observation points to allow visitors full enjoyment of some truly incredible vistas. While we were a bit late to catch the prime fall colors, we still able to capture some breathtaking scenery.
The Parkway is not a national park. It is a scenic byway with private homes viewable from the roadway. The Park Service maintains the rest areas and some historic sites along the Parkway.
Every mile provides multiple photo opportunities.
