The Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation celebrates those individuals who have completed this journey, recognizing that those who journeyed the Parkway as children years ago are returning now with their children and grandchildren. For them, the promise of the Parkway thrives not only in a quiet escape to natural splendor, but also in the joy of sharing a profound and unforgettable experience.

To make the memory more enduring, the Blue Ridge Parkway honors those completing the journey with a handsome certificate, lapel pin and decal.

The Foundation encourages those who have traveled the entire length of the Parkway, whether over a few days or over a few years, to apply. Click to www.brpfoundation.org/end_to_end.php for the application.
