Stretching almost 500 miles through North Carolina and Virginia, the Blue Ridge Parkway provides visitors with a series of panoramic views, protects significant mountain landscapes, and is a "museum of the managed American countryside."
The protection of the Parkway and surrounding region is an immense task, with much at stake. The Parkway of tomorrow will be defined by the extent to which people today are willing to speak out on behalf of the Parkway and to invest in its future.

Connect your family to the natural world by going on a fun and discovery-filled TRACK Trail adventure. Designed to help children explore nature, TRACK Trails offer self-guided brochures that cover topics such as bird identification, fall foliage, and animal activities. The first trail opened at the Blue Ridge Parkway Visitor Center, milepost 384, in Asheville six years ago. Visit www.kidsinparks.com for trail locations.
