Property In Blue Ridge
John Muir, co-founder of the Sierra Club, once suggested to an editor, "Let us do something to make the mountains glad."
Whether traversing the entire parkway, or just a portion, consider the uplift in your attitude just a byproduct of the higher altitudes. In reverse of Mr. Muir’s century’s old statement – here the mountains will make you glad!
Stretching for 469 miles, from the Shenandoah National Forest, outside Roanoke, Virginia, to the Great Smoky Mountains near North Carolina’s town of Cherokee, the parkway is the reminiscent of a bygone era of driving - slow speeds (45 mph in most places), stunning vistas and no need to keep checking the time.
