For years, visitors have hiked, motor biked, bicycled, and traveled in their cars, campers, and trucks from one end of the Blue Ridge Parkway to the other.
The Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation celebrates those individuals who have completed this journey on the twisting ribbon of mountain road that connects the spirits of countless people and nature's glory. From one person to another, one generation to another, the journey of the Parkway becomes a journey of life. Those who journeyed here as children years ago, return now, with their children and grandchildren. For them the promise of the Parkway thrives not only in a quiet escape to natural splendor, but also in the joy of sharing a profound and unforgettable experience.
To make the memory more enduring, the Blue Ridge Parkway honors those completing the journey with a handsome certificate, lapel pin, and decal as testimony to this grand experience of our unique national park.
Those who have traveled the entire length of the Parkway, whether over a few days or over a few years, are encouraged to apply. To obtain an application, please visit the
Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation web site.
