The 469-mile, Blue Ridge Parkway is part of the U.S. National Park Service.
The parkway follows a non-commmerical recreational motoring route along the ridge of the Blue Ridge Mountains,
connecting Shenandoah and Great Smoky Mountains National Parks. With the use of the milepost system (the numbers increase
as you drive south), you can easily find points of interest along the way.
There is no admission fee to the awe inspiring views
from the Blue Ridge Parkway, which now have a new addition- the Appalachian Mural Trail.
Within driving distance of the Blue Ridge Parkway amazing murals dot the horizon and
tell the story of the Appalachian Mountains. With this Parkway Milepost Guide you
can follow the Parkway and view beautiful historical murals while exiting at the
mile posts along the way!
