Water tumbles in a broken white sheet over dark, moss-covered boulders, with fallen autumn leaves caught along the banks. Scenes like this one are typical of the Blue Ridge Parkway, the scenic road that runs for roughly 469 miles along the crest of the Appalachians through Virginia and North Carolina. Its many small cascades are fed by mountain streams that stay cool and damp even in fall, which keeps the rocks green with moss while the surrounding hardwoods turn gold and red. The parkway was begun in the 1930s as a Depression-era public works project, and its overlooks and trails were built to showcase views like this one.
