Tucked away, within the 469 miles of the Blue Ridge
Parkway, are hundreds
of hiking trails. Trails which
provide dazzling images of wildflowers on
rolling
pastures, cascading waterfalls (some with natural
rock waterslides),
blue tinged mountains, and
majestic gorges. Trails found on the Parkway are
suited
for all skill levels, and provide an initimate,
up-close view of - what we feel is -
the most beautiful
wilderness in the country. So toss your boots on
and lace up! It's time to hike!
