Blue Ridge Parkway Impressions

About this book

One of the most beloved parks in the country Blue Ridge Parkway called Americas Most Scenic Drive is a 469-mile roadway that climbs the ridgelines and peaks of the Appalachian Mountains between Shenandoah National Park and the Great Smoky Mountains. Historic sites such as gristmills bridges and one-room schoolhouses exist along the Parkway and 350 miles of trails crisscross its length connecting with the Appalachian Trail and even older pathways that wind through forests of hardwood evergreen and the endangered hemlock. Pat and Chuck Blackleys beautiful photography immortalizes for posterity the essence of this culturally rich and visually stunning land.
