The American Blue Ridge Parkway, shepherded by
the US National Park Service, is probably the most famous road in current use in the
world. Flirting with the peaks of the Blue Ridge Mountains, it leads the motorist in
a southwesterly direction from Virginia to its termination west of Waynesville NC in the
Great Smoky Mountains. And it is quite a road. Here is a favorite vantage
point to view the autumn leaves. From the scenic turnouts you can see from the peaks
to the valley floors. You can watch the march of color as it works its way down the
mountainsides as the season progresses. |
