Greetings from Blue Ridge Parkway

Our favorite hiking trails are around the Manor (Moses H. Cone Memorial Park, on the Blue Ridge Parkway (Milepost 294). Miles and miles of connecting trails to enjoy with our human parents.

Sending loves and kisses to other animal/nature lovers.

Blue Ridge Parkway

Extending more than 450 miles between Shenandoah National Park in Virginia and Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee, the Blue Ridge Parkway is a trip through the history of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the people who have lived here for hundreds of years. This meandering road ties together diverse landscapes and conserves architecture, industry and cultural traditions associated with the mountain communities of southern Appalachia. Visitors can while away an afternoon listening to traditional music at the Blue Ridge Music Center, learn about the life of early settlers at Mabry Mill, or peruse traditional arts and crafts at the Folk Art Center, among other adventures.

State(s): North Carolina Virginia,

Established: 1936

“Nature is intended to be admired and hiking on trails is a great way to soothe one's soul. ”
