North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Parkway is a scenic drive that rolls through the state’s cultural history for over 450 miles between Virginia and North Carolina. The scenic road spans the South and Central Appalachians, and is known for its diverse and rare habitat that supports local wildlife and flora. Pass by Mount Mitchell, the tallest peak in the eastern United States, Linville Gorge, the deepest gorge east of the Grand Canyon, and the Plateau Region’s New River, North America’s oldest river. Aside from the natural beauty of the area, attractions along the road include the Bristol, Virginia’s Birthplace of Country Music Museum, Asheville’s Biltmore Estate, and New Market Virginia’s Museum of the Civil War.
