The parkway is our go to spot for hiking. We can go as far as you can imagine and make the hike as tough as you want..it is beautiful and something different with every season..we are SO lucky to live here and have the Blue Ridge as a playground..please stop and check it out..worth the visit.

I was visiting Asheville for work and had a really good time. There are some amazing views so I suggest bringing a camera. Water if you plan on hiking I did not remember seeing any water fountains on the trail. Except I was more occupied with the views.

Beautiful road though the Appalachian mountains in Virginia and North Carolina. So nice to drive and just see the beauty of the mountains without any commercial eyesore.

Such a great place right off the parkway with a gorgeous mountain top view. A great place to watch the sunset! There is an entrance to the Mountain to Sea Trail. What adds to the convenience is the huge parking lot. Anyone looking for a nice hike right off the parkway should check out this area and trail head. The Mountain to Sea Trail does stretch all the way to the coast so based on the distance you plan to hike you can turn back around when ready to head back. Therefore this trail is great for short adventures and long ones alike.

Protect our public lands

My 6 year old son & I decided to go after my appt at the Asheville VA hospital. It was beautiful scenery & peaceful. It was definitely a long trek but beyond worth it. He cant wait to go back.

This place is so beautiful! Me and my husband went while on our honeymoon. If you are a serious hiker, I highly recommend! If you dont hike often, then I suggest you get into shape a little before going because it is too beautiful to miss. We went on a roughly five mile hike and I about died. It was mostly uphill too. But there were some beautiful sights and it was worth it. There is also a beautiful bridge to hike under. Even though I about died, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I also loved the fact that this place has a gift shop and little museum type of thing. It was very interesting to learn about the different wildlife and the history of the land and the people who settled and lived here. Like I said, I highly recommend to everyone!
