Start the car and head a short three hours north west to Roanoke in Virginia’s Blue Ridge. With its surrounding mountains and valley location you are spoilt with opportunities to get outside and enjoy the Spring weather.
Take your time to soak up the views from many of the Blue Ridge Parkway overlooks and see why this is known as ‘America’s Favorite Drive’ and one the best scenic drives in the USA.
FRUIT WINE TASTING AT THE PEAKS OF OTTER WINERY & ORCHARDS
Take a short detour off the Blue Ridge Parkway to the Peaks of Otter Winery & Orchards for your seasonal wine tasting. It’s a perfect stop after a morning of hiking and exploring.
After your time zip-lining through the canopies, head back to the ground for the 14 miles of hiking and biking trails in Explore Park, many of which will take you down to, or along, the Roanoke River.
