A Drive Through Beauty

Millions of people have been coming to Virginia this month.  They come from all over the United States. Some come from halfway around the globe. They come to take a drive along one of America’s most incredibly scenic national parks at a time of year when the colors along the roadway can be absolutely breathtaking.

Maybe you have made this drive yourself.

If you have, you are cordially invited to share your story of the Blue Ridge Parkway, too.

Guest:
Peter Givens
- 38 year veteran of the National Park Service.  "Interpretative Specialist" and unofficial historian at the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Additional Contributor:
