Did you know???
The Blue Ridge Mountains stretch 550 miles from North GA to PA, encompassing more than 34,000 square miles of mountains, forests, lakes, rivers, and waterfalls in 8 states.
The Blue Ridge range is part of the much larger Appalachian Mountains range. But the Blue Ridge also has myriad sub-ranges, including the Great Smoky Mountains, Black Mountains, Craggy Mountains, and more.
It's home to the tallest mountains east of the Mississippi River, with 20+ peaks in North Carolina alone that measure over 6,000 feet in elevation.
