Bluegreen Corporation (NYSE: BXG), a leading provider of Colorful Places to Live and Play, today announced the Blue Ridge Parkway, a 500-mile route through the Great Smoky Mountains, was named one of America's Most Scenic Roads by Travel + Leisure. Bluegreen Corporation points out the Blue Ridge Parkway travels through the south section of the Shenandoah Valley, where Bluegreen's Gordonsville, Virginia resort Shenandoah Crossing is located.Travel + Leisure describes the Blue Ridge Parkway as "a panoramic drive for all seasons, with undulating slopes of color in autumn, a bounty of forest canopy in summer, and hot-cider ski resorts in winter."
The Blue Ridge Parkway not only offers beautiful panoramic views year-round, it's most popular season being fall as the leaves change color; it offers a variety of fauna for wildlife seekers as well. The Blue Ridge Parkway provides shelter to 56 native species of birds, which is more than the entire continent of Europe.
"We always recommend for guests to travel along the Blue Ridge Parkway if they are looking for sightseeing opportunities," explains John Pallaria, General Manager of Bluegreen's Shenandoah Crossing. "While our resort is cradled in the lowlands of the Shenandoah Valley, which provides incredible views all its own, the panoramics created by a road that travels along mountain ridges and peaks leave residents and visitors in awe."
