Personal Narrative: Beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains

My heart was buzzing with excitement with every twist and turn up the curvy North Carolina mountain roads. The popping in my ears could not be compared to firecrackers of joy going off inside of me. I was finally getting to go to my dad’s favorite place; the Beautiful Blue Ridge Parkway. This was going to be my first time going to a National Park and I could not be more excited. As soon as we pulled onto the parkway my heart stopped, I could barely believe how beautiful it was. It looked so perfect. The mountains were such a vibrant blue that I felt as if I was dreaming. I could see so far that I felt as if I was on top of the world. The Blue Ridge Parkway winds like a snake through the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina and Virginia
Now I was going to get to be one of those people. I looked at the map my dad gave to me of the parkway and noticed that there were many pull-offs that held trails, waterfalls, campgrounds, and picnic areas. I was so curious that I quickly asked my dad if we could go to them. He enthusiastically agreed. We hiked multiple scenic trails across the Blue Ridge Mountains. The experience gave me a closer look at the beautiful mountain wilderness. Most importantly the experience gave me the time of my life and an unforgettable experience. I now have a new outlook and a fresh perspective. I was able to see what made this place a national treasure and why my dad loved it so much.

The views and the experiences are what draws people from across the nation to this national treasure. It’s both an engineering marvel and a scenic road carved into the mountains; as well as many's hearts. The Blue Ridge Parkway is truly a gem hidden in North Carolina and preserved in our
