Blue Ridge Highlands

Blue Ridge Highlands

Sweet notes of mountain music still ring out in the Blue Ridge Highlands. The notes of birdsong echo from soaring peaks accompanied by the symphony of a mountain stream.
Jefferson Country

Jefferson Country

Three United States presidents called this scenic area of Virginia home. The simple beauty of its rivers, lakes and mountains combine with history-book villages, grape-rich wineries and interesting college towns for a memorable tour.
Shenandoah Valley

Shenandoah Valley

The Shenandoah Valley is as lush and green as it is ancient. From Indian lore to modern recreation, the valley sets the tone for a land of natural wonders, colorful folk art and historic spots.
Gatlinburg Skylift

Tennessee Region

Tennessee’s Smokies are as vast as the view from the state’s highest point, Clingman’s Dome or as cozy as the sheltered pioneer settlement of Cade’s Cove.

North Carolina Regions

The south end of the Blue Ridge Parkway runs into the Great Smoky Mountain National Park and contains the highest point on the Parkway (Richland Balsam Mountain, MP 431) and the last piece of the parkway to be built (Linn Cove Viaduct, MP 304.4).
