The Blue Ridge Parkway The Blue Ridge Parkway with its scenic views is a wonderful place for a picnic. Through the years my family and I have enjoyed many picnics along this ribbon of road that rides the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Any spot along the parkway that is large enough to accommodate a vehicle and a tablecloth spread on the ground or tailgate is an ideal spot. There are picnic tables at many of the overlooks, too. Here in the High Country we have access to picnic areas at Doughton Park, Jeffries Park and Price Park. There are tables, grills (furnish your own charcoal) and restrooms available. When you plan a picnic on the Parkway, be sure to bring a lawn chair or blanket so you can relax after enjoying a hearty picnic in one of the most beautiful places provided by nature. M. L.
