One of the country's longest scenic drives, Blue Ridge Parkway runs for 755 km (469 mi), cutting its way through two states and 29 counties. Constructed in the 1930s to connect two major national parks, the road runs mostly along the Blue Ridge, a mountain chain of the Appalachian Mountains. Most visitors choose to travel this road in the spring when the surrounding landscape blooms with native wildflowers. You can also pick a less crowded time of year, like autumn, when you can photograph the changing colors of the forest. Stop at any one of a dozen visitor centers scattered along the road to take a short rest, re-energize with a cup of coffee, or get a free map.

In North Carolina the Blue Ridge Parkway runs from Milepost 217 at the Virginia border and ends at Milepost 469 near the entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Along these 252 miles are numerous overlooks offering stunning mountain views. There are tunnels, curves, and the spectacular Linn Cove Viaduct. It truly is one of best and most beautiful drives.
