ABOUT BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS TRAVEL GUIDE

The BRMTG was created by Bret Love & Mary Gabbett, the award-winning team behind
the world-renowned responsible travel website Green Global Travel.

Bret grew up camping and hiking in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Georgia and North
Carolina with his parents, and the couple both spent childhood summers on the
water with their grandparents.

After becoming empty nesters, they yearned for a pristine place where they could
escape the hustle and bustle of the city, commune with nature and family, and
embrace a sustainable lifestyle that leaves time to appreciate the simpler
things in life.

Join them and their team as they explore the region, offering expert insights on
Blue Ridge travel as they search for the perfect mountain home.

 




FAQS ABOUT THE BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS

Where are the Blue Ridge Mountains?  

The Blue Ridge Mountains are part of the Appalachian Mountain range. They extend
550 miles in the eastern United States, and include parts of Georgia, South
Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, and
Pennsylvania. The Blue Ridge region is home to Great Smoky Mountains National
Park and Shenandoah National Park, as well as eight national forests (including
the Chattahoochee National Forest, Cherokee National Forest, Nantahala National
Forest, and Pisgah National Forest).

 

How long is the Blue Ridge Parkway? 

The scenic Blue Ridge Parkway is America’s longest linear park, stretching 469
miles from Great Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina to Shenandoah
National Park in Virginia. The Blue Ridge Parkway starts at U.S. 441 and ends at
Shenandoah’s entrance, where the name changes to Skyline Drive. Originally known
as the Appalachian Scenic Highway, the road’s construction began in 1935 and
ended in 1987. It has been the most visited unit of America’s National Park
System for 70+ years.

 

Why are the Blue Ridge Mountains blue? 

The distinctive color that gives the Blue Ridge Mountains their name largely
comes from the forests that line its ridges (which reach elevations up to 6,684
feet). Many shrubs and trees– including oaks, poplars, and eucalyptus– emit an
organic compound called isoprene. When this hydrocarbon is released into the
atmosphere, it creates a distinctive lingering haze that looks blue from a
distance.
