Along the Blue Ridge Parkway

Topping mountain crests, dipping into river valleys, and rambling through farmlands and national forests, the Blue Ridge Parkway winds 470 miles through Virginia and North Carolina--the heart of Southern Appalachia. Images by noted nature photographer George Humphries show the splendor of the Blue Ridge Parkway and the text tells the story of the Parkway and the Southern Appalachians, a region rich in music, crafts, and human and natural history. 66 color photos.
