The northernmost part of the parkway winds through southwestern Virginia, changing elevation like a rollercoaster as the mountains and rivers meet. Enjoy the feast for your senses—the sound of bluegrass, taste of sweet wine, smell of Catawba rhododendron and of course, the magical views that change with the weather in nature’s IMAX. Check for seasonal closures.
