Blue Ridge Parkway is an interesting driving route
I'll be there in a couple of months! We're planning on doing a hike through the Great Smoky Mountains in North Carolina and Tennessee.
I understand it is  469 miles through Virginia and North Carolina 
The hike we're doing will be part of the Appalachian Trail. It will be very scenic.
Some think of it as just a motor road or a pleasant drive. But the Parkway is also a place of varied and significant natural resources., I bet the hiking around there is spectacular
Well what about the Appalachain trail? It isn't for driving at all. You could walk through fourteen U.S. states on that trail.
That would be amazing
It reminds me of the Oregon trail from Missouri out to Oregon. Did you ever play the Oregon Trail video game?
well my kids did, I am very intriqued by this Blue Ridge Parkway, I hope to go someday
The blue ridge is near the Roanoke river gap. My mon grew up around there.
