Geographic Reference

There are no gas stations along the parkway, so if needed, you can detour to small towns near the route to refuel and take a break before continuing your journey.

Every part of the Blue Ridge Parkway is beautiful. Of course, the iconic Mabry Mill and Crabtree Falls are also places you definitely shouldn't miss.
