The Blue Ridge Parkway, part of the Appalachian Mountains running through Virginia and North Carolina, was in the final throes of Autumn glory the week we spent in this part of Virginia. Stretching 469 miles through 29 counties, one cannot hope to experience it all in just a few days. Taking it slow, stopping often to enjoy the stunning views of rugged mountains and pastoral landscapes of the Appalachian Highlands, and taking pictures make for slow progress, but this experience dubbed "America's Favorite Drive" shouldn't be rushed. We spent several hours on two separate days taking in portions of this breathtaking drive and still couldn't get enough of it. Our visit to this area added to our growing love and appreciation of the beautiful state of Virginia. Below are pictures we took in late October.
