As we head into spooky season, it's the perfect time to discover more about the creatures and critters who call the Parkway home. You can learn about the bats and snakes found in the park at the Blue Ridge Parkway's ranger-led programming tomorrow (Thurs.10/29) at Peaks of Otter and Waterrock K**b.

Too scary for you? There's many other educational programs to be found this week on the Parkway. Catch them before the season ends! 🍂📆

Have you checked your mailbox yet? The latest edition of The Scenic is officially here!

Flip to page 6 to discover a special feature on the legacy of Gary Johnson, the Blue Ridge Parkway's Chief of Resource Planning who spent 36 years protecting and advocating for the vistas we love.

Before his passing, Gary finished his book "experiencing the Blue Ridge Parkway as the Sum of Its Parts". You can receive a hardback copy of this beautiful guide with a gift of $100 or more to the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation. Your donation directly funds the landscape preservation projects that Gary championed throughout his career.🛣🌄
