Blue Ridge

Parkway

The backbone of Virginia

is the Blue Ridge Mountain

range: the beginning of wild

America, a forested spine

that was our nation’s first

frontier. Trip 25: Blue Ridge

Parkway snakes across these

summits. On either side of

the mountains lies a unique

culture that blends fiercely

conservative small-town

values and artsy, progressive

collegiate havens.
