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.

The Blue Ridge Parkway has many overlooks that feature grand and extensive scenic views; others are locations for informational signs about important aspects of Appalachian history, ecology and culture, and still others serve primarily as parking lots for trail access. Individuals and groups can adopt and overlook and play an important role in caring for these Parkway staples.
