On a beautiful sunny day grab your sunglassess and doggles, roll down the windows, put the top down, and hit the road for "America's Favorite Drive"! The Blue Ridge Parkway is just shy of 500 winding miles from Shenandoah National Park in Northern Virginia to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina. Follow the Appalachian Mountains and take in the breathtaking scenery. Rest stops available every so often.
