The Blue Ridge Shows its True Colors
The Blue Ridge Shows its True Colors
The temperature
is dropping and the days are getting shorter. That's a sign that something
magical which only occurs once a year is about to happen. The leaves on the
trees will soon change colors and the once green mountainsides will burst with
brilliant red, orange and golden hues. This stunning display of nature's glory
can be seen and enjoyed in so many ways - from higher elevations along the
famous Blue Ridge Parkway to many miles of scenic drives that meander through
the cities, towns and counties of the Roanoke Valley. Monitor foliage progress here,
and plan your trip here.
Just don't miss out on autumn in the Blue Ridge Mountains this year.
A 40 Day Celebration of Arts and Culture
One thing as lively as the fall

performances, gallery displays, art shows and much more will take place from
