“This is no ordinary road.
        With grand mountains on either side
        rich Appalachian cultures along the way,
        and stunning landscapes from beginning to end,

This is a Journey unlike any in the World
        For generations people have come to the
        Blue Ridge Parkway to be inspired and awed.

Here is where history reaches out to the future,
        where memories and dreams travel together
        in a way that is majestic, revitalizing, and profound.”
