The View from Rough Ridge

Boardwalk, Tanawha Trail, Blue Ridge Parkway, North Carolina

Along Rough Ridge, the Tanawha Trail becomes a boardwalk over a 

fragile mountain-heather ecosystem. Rhododendrons bloom rosy hues while 
in the distance the Line Cove Viaduct, part of the Blue Ridge Parkway, 
can be seen below a cliff.

Scenes like this make me long for the mountains!
