The Blue Ridge runs from northern Virginia through the Carolinas into north Georgia. Pick a region below to see what is there, then find a rental close by.
This stretch has the Appalachian Trail's famous ledges, old mills along the Parkway, and the wild ponies of Grayson Highlands. Small towns here are known for traditional mountain music. Leaves usually turn first on the highest ridges in early October and move down to the valleys by late October or early November. The timing shifts every year.
