Blue Ridge Pkwy. Travel Guide

The Blue Ridge Parkway is a 469-mile scenic corridor that runs through the southern Appalachian Mountains from Shenandoah National Park, in Virginia, to Great Smoky Mountains National Park, on the North Carolina-Tennessee border. It has much in common with these parks -- notably motor-vehicle access to hiking, camping, and picnicking opportunities; cultural and historical attractions; and modern lodgings nestled in some of the most striking mountain scenery in the East.
