Wow wow and WOW!!!
Drive this and be amazed at the beauty. The pictures and natural creation of the trees and leaves. Such a beautiful place.

It’s way more scenic than Shanandoah’s Skyline and it’s free to drive! Just beautiful. Make sure you come prepared with a full tank as there are very few gas stations along most of the parkway.

The Blue Ridge Parkway never disappoints. Almost every car is very courteous to us. On bicycles. The road is in good shape, and the views are breathtaking.

Beautiful vibrant fall colors right now!!! Breathtaking scenery, places to pull over for photo opts and history. Few bathrooms scattered about, visitor center. Very beautiful peaceful drive provided by God's fall colors!

Went to visit Virginia Blue Ridge Parkway with my local Jeep club. We went to see if the fall leaves had changed color. Even though the leaves were just starting to change color, we still were not disapointed. Beautiful overlook views places to eat and restroom breaks ! Well worth the visit ! Will go back soon at fall peak leaf color

I finally made it to the North end of the Blue Ridge Pkwy. What a beautiful ride! If you own a motorcycle I highly recommend the trip from one end to the other! Ride safe my friends!!

"The most visited of National Parkway" (14,976,085 visitors in 2019), "America's most scenic drive", "The fall extravaganza in red and gold". Blue Ridge Parkway was the first national rural parkway to be conceived, designed, and constructed for a leisure-type driving experience. Its varied topography and numerous vista points offer easy public access to spectacular views of central and southern Appalachian rural landscapes and forested mountains. It connects Shenandoah National Park in Virginia with Great Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina.
The Parkway is the highest and longest continuous route in the Appalachian area. Along its 469-mile length linking Shenandoah National Park (Virginia) to Great Smoky Mountains National Park (North Carolina & Tennessee). The project took over 52 years to complete (1935-1987) with 26 tunnels and cross roads by 168 bridges and six viaducts.

Must dive the Blue Ridge Parkway to experience the beauty and hike the many trails. It took me 5 days. Started Monday afternoon from South end at Cherokee NC to North end at Shenandoah in Virginia mid day Friday September 2022! And so much more to see!
