The Blue Ridge Parkway was recently selected for inclusion in Rand McNally’s Best of the Road program based on submission materials prepared by the Blue Ridge Parkway Association in collaboration with Parkway staff.
National Parks Traveler has created its newest guide to the Blue Ridge Parkway in a collection of National Parks Traveler’s Essential Park Guides.
The Parkway traverses the land of the “leg-stretcher trail” — paths specifically designed to entice non-hikers off into the woods during a break in their drive. Easy trails tempt families and even the elderly to nearby views that showoff the spectacle of the Southern Appalachians. If you’re more serious than that, you’ll also find some of the East’s toughest trails.

I am Jeff Clark, founder of Internet Brothers, publisher of Meanderthals, and a passionate hiker. I live in western NC near the Blue Ridge and Great Smoky Mountains. Pisgah and Nantahala National Forests are just out my doorstep, so the content will focus on these areas, but let me know what you would like to see on the site.
