Before we traveled the Parkway on our family vacation, we got many books from the library to figure out where we wanted to stop, which were the best hikes, etc. This was the best of those books, by far! I referenced it during the trip as well, and was never disappointed. If you're planning to drive the Blue Ridge Parkway, get this book and keep it close at hand!

This book was essential to our trip along the Blue Ridge Parkway. It has information about different overlooks, hikes, parks, and where to get on and off the Parkway. My husband and I drove all 469 miles and this book definitely enhanced our trip so that we knew what we were looking at and what was coming up.

Driving the Blue Ridge Parkway would not be complete without this book. Overlooks, trails and sights are explained in detail - a feature missing from the actual Parkway signage. It's a bit of a monotonous read unless you're actually on the Parkway but if you're heading that way, don't go without this book and "The Best of the Blue Ridge Parkway" by Nye Simmons

Good guide...I will refer back to it if I can find time to get there this year.

Good detailed guide to a wonderful scenic highway. The sidebars are printed black text on a purple background which is difficult to read (the main text is normal black on white).
