In Season 15 of BBC2’s Top Gear, the show once declared Blue Ridge Parkway as the best highway in the world, and later in Episode 7, prepared three top-tier supercars to drive along the parkway.

Here, different floral seasons bloom throughout the year. When autumn arrives, the leaves along the Blue Ridge Parkway turn yellow and red, creating a unique autumn viewing area.
