There are over 369 miles of trails that meander along the Blue Ridge Parkway, providing a close-up view of some of the most beautiful wilderness in the country. Below is a complete list by Milepost, including length and difficulty. The Appalachian Trail and Mountains-to-Sea Trail are two long-distance trails that follow closely with stretches of the Parkway. Hikers may hike these trails for days, weeks, or even months at a time. Groups such as High Country Hikers or the Carolina Mountain Club have regular hikes that are open to the public, and many state parks and wilderness areas have ranger-led hikes. Information about hiking opportunities in your area can be found at your local visitor center or ranger station.
