We've Added The Blue Ridge Parkway To Our Collection of Essential Park Guides

Share

The Blue Ridge Parkway is a globally recognized icon of the American landscape.

Stretches of road elsewhere in the United States may indeed be spectacular, but nothing matches this manicured, uniquely uncommercialized, half a thousand mile thoroughfare through the lofty heart of America’s first frontier.

A Parkway vacation—tackling the entire route along the spine of the Southern Appalachians, from the southern end of Shenandoah National Park in Virginia to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina—is the quintessential experience of the Eastern mountains.

The winding, reduced-speed limit road is a relaxed motor trail among the airy ridges and mountaintops of Eastern America’s highest mountains. It’s an Appalachian Trail for cars, a singular experience, a dazzling juncture of earth and sky. The Parkway is a rarity—a road almost continually at the crest—a truly skyline traverse.

How would one go about getting a Essential Park Guide made for their own park?


We've got a loooonnnngggg list of parks to create guides for. As you can imagine, it can take a lot of time to put these together. Which park are you interested in? Perhaps we can bump it up the list.

Hmmm, good choice. We'll see what we can do.
