Blue Ridge Highlands trip planner

A trip to Blue Ridge Highlands reveals a picturesque landscape of rolling mountains, scenic waterways, leafy side roads, and rustic farms. In this birthplace of old-time mountain music, you can hear the banjo regularly--just follow the state's heritage music trail. Opportunities for outdoor adventures and relaxed scenic drives abound near the town of Damascus. If you're into arts and crafts, visit Abingdon with its Victorian historic district and the gallery-lined main street. Pretty-as-a-postcard, the tiny town of Floyd brims with life on Friday evenings, when much of the state converges there for a night of live country music.
