The Blue Ridge Parkway is often called Americas Favorite Drive. And for good reason. Stretching 469 miles, this ribbon of road winds its way past the postcard perfect farms and pastures and crosses the high mountain peaks of western North Carolina.
In 2010 the Blue Ridge Parkway is celebrating its 75th anniversary. Come and help us celebrate by joining in one of the many events throughout the year. No road gives more picturesque views of the southern Appalachian countryside or offers as many panoramas of verdant valleys and rows of blue-hued mountain peaks that stretch as far as the eye can see. And more than a beautiful drive, this All-American Road offers 350 miles of hiking trails. With so much to see and do, why not check out the top 10 things to do in this area.
