- 1 Rockfish Gap — Mile 0 The Parkway begins where Shenandoah National Park ends. The Blue Ridge stretches south before you, the Shenandoah Valley drops away to the west.
- 2 Humpback Rocks — Milepost 5.8 A recreated 1890s mountain farmstead sits trailside. The half-mile climb to Humpback Rocks rewards with 360-degree views of the Blue Ridge.
- 3 James River — Milepost 63.6 The Parkway crosses Virginia's largest river. The Kanawha Canal and railroad trace the same water gap through the mountains.
- 4 Peaks of Otter — Milepost 86 Three peaks — Sharp Top, Flat Top, and Harkening Hill — frame Abbott Lake. Thomas Jefferson once described these peaks as one of Virginia's greatest views.
- 5 Roanoke Mountain — Milepost 120 The largest city along the Parkway lies below. The Mill Mountain Star — the world's largest freestanding illuminated man-made star — glows above the valley at night.
- 6 Mabry Mill — Milepost 176.1 The most photographed spot on the Blue Ridge Parkway. This 1910 gristmill and blacksmith shop reflects perfectly in its millpond.
