Description
Much of the landscaping and trails along the Blue Ridge Parkway were created by the Civilian Conservation Corps and most of the iconic stone work that signifies many of the Parkway's bridges and overlooks was completed by Italian and Spanish stone masons who were contracted for various jobs and portions of the road.
The Parkway makes its way through 29 counties of Virginia and North Carolina across streams, railway ravines, and cross roads with six viaducts and 168 bridges.
The road and land on either side of it is maintained and owned by the National Park Service. It's not considered a "National Park," but it is annually the most visited unit in the national park system and has been named "America's Favorite Drive" by various publications.
