Most visitors to a national park make their first stop at the visitor center. It's a place to learn about the park, find out what activities are planned, ask about the weather, or just use the restroom. Here at the Parkway's "virtual" visitor center, you can do 3 out of 4. Like the real visitor centers, this is the place to begin exploring the Blue Ridge Parkway.
