Some consider the Blue Ridge Parkway the most scenic highway in America. Welcoming hundreds of thousands of visitors each year, the 459 mile long Blue Ridge Parkway is one of the premier National Scenic Byways in the United States. Built by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the depression, the highway has been meticulously maintained to allow travelers to have one of the most serene and awesome drives through unspoiled forest, punctuated every so often with a scenic overlook, where “on a clear day, you can see forever.” As you climb up toward the Parkway from Bedford, the Peaks of Otter loom majestically overhead.

Directions:
Milepost 86 on Blue Ridge Parkway. Approximately 11 miles southeast from Buchanan, VA, exit 187 on I-81.
