North Carolina Scenic Routes
The 469-mile Blue Ridge Parkway connects North Carolina's Great Smoky Mountains National Park with Virginia's Shenandoah National Park. This parkway is one of the more scenic drives in the state, offering sweeping views of misty mountains and valleys that are best appreciated from the Buena Vista Overlook on the northern end. Stop at Mabry Mill for woodcarving, blacksmithing, and milling demonstrations, and the Cumberland Knob Recreation Area for a picnic. The Moses H. Cone Memorial Park has a shop specializing in textile crafts, and the Linville Falls cascade spectacularly into the deep Linville Gorge. At the eastern end of the state, North Carolina Route 12 traverses the coastal Outer Banks region, including Cape Hatteras National Seashore. Move information about scenic roads in North Carolina is available on these America's Byways: North Carolina and North Carolina Scenic Byways pages.
