October is always my favorite time to drive the Blue Ridge Pkwy. I have a special overlook where I stop sometime in the fall when the leaves are falling and there is a relaxing breeze which seems to relax my senses. In my younger days I remember having picnics with past family members and it seems somehow their memory lives on everytime I visit. Sometimes in the winter around the Peaks of Otter when there is snow and the parkway is closed the
access road from Bedford is always open and the beauty and serenity is
awesome. We are so uniquely fortunate to have such a sensory experience all around us!

Default I know!! You said it perfectly!

This area, hands down has a natural landscape of epic beauty.. I am always taken aback driving and seeing the expanse in awe. When I say aloud "this is God's country".. I often wonder if in fact He really meant for it to truly be just that!

It is truly a sight to drive now. I cannot wait to see what the scenery looks like when the colors change.

This is God's Country.
