The Blue Ridge Parkway |

| The Parkway's
469 toll-free miles follow mountain crests from Shenandoah National Park
in Virginia to Great Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina and
Tennessee. It combines awesome natural beauty with the pioneer history
of gristmills, weathered cabins and split-rail fences. This sanctuary
encompasses a world of mountain forests, wildlife, and wildflowers
thousands of feet above a patchwork of villages, fields, and farms. Each
season provides visitors with a completely different Blue Ridge Parkway:
an explosion of colorful wildflowers in the spring to the refreshing
coolness of summer to the fall extravaganza of red and gold to the stark
beauty of snow-covered peaks in winter.
We entered the Blue Ridge Parkway at Ashville, NC and experienced only about 130 miles of it.
You can barely see the village in the valley far below.

They're called the "Smoky Mountains" because of the perpetual blu-ish haze...the above picture with the fall colors looks like an oil painting!
