Rough Ridge is one of the most well-known hikes along the Blue Ridge Parkway and for good reason. With panoramic views of the surrounding Blue Ridge mountains and a bird's-eye view of the famous Linn Cove Viaduct, this is a year-round hike that cannot be missed! 

Virginia’s Peaks of Otter is one of my favorite spots along the Blue Ridge Parkway. With multiple incredible hikes, a lodge, and the beautiful Abbott Lake in the shadow of Sharp Top Mountain, it’s a perfect stop for hikers.
