Trails Appalachian Trail Access Meandering alongside and crossing the scenic motor road, the trails provide a close-up look at some of the most beautiful wilderness in the country.
Many trails wind their way through unique biological and geological environments.
Others lead to historic sites with stories of how people have shaped our heritage. Many Parkway trails continue onto Forest Service and private land. Please respect all these lands and treat them with care. Hiking Tips Lock valuables in the trunk of your car or take them with you. Hiking shoes or boots are recommended for most trails, expecially the more strenuous ones.
