Blue Ridge Parkway is an interesting driving route
I'll be there in a couple of months! We're planning on doing a hike through the Great Smoky Mountains in North Carolina and Tennessee.
I understand it is  469 miles through Virginia and North Carolina 
The hike we're doing will be part of the Appalachian Trail. It will be very scenic.

That would be amazing

The Blue Ridge Parkway is a National Parkway and All-American Road in the United States, noted for its scenic beauty.
