During our June roadtrip, we will be passing by the Blue Ridge Parkway which is a 469 mile long parkway that goes from Shenandoah National Park near Waynesboro, Virginia (Mile 0) to Great Smoky Mountains National Park (Mile 469).

Construction began in 1935 and took over 52 years to complete (in 1987). It is the longest linear park and belongs to the National Park Service. It is named after the Blue Ridge, a chain of mountains that is part of the Appalachian Mountains.
