Shutterbugs take note: this gorgeous drive may be the most photogenic in America.
The Blue Ridge Parkway is a national parkway that winds through the southern Appalachian Mountains. It’s almost 469 miles long and practically every view you’ll see outside your car window is photo-worthy.
Though cruising down road itself may be the best way to take in as much of the area’s splendor as possible, hopping out of your car almost anywhere on the Blue Ridge Parkway provides fantastic opportunities to hike, picnic, camp, watch wildlife or just sit back and soak up some serious natural beauty.
