One of the best parts about attending App State is driving the Blue Ridge Parkway and taking in its breathtaking views. Whether on the way to hike, picnic, stargaze or watch the sun go down, you can’t go wrong when on the parkway.
Exploring the parkway is also a great way to social distance and reconnect with nature. So, this week we put together a list of 15 songs perfect for taking a drive on the parkway. Buckle up, roll your windows down and enjoy this week’s playlist: Parkway tunes.
We hope you appreciate this article! Before you move on, our student staff wanted to ask if you would consider supporting The Appalachian's award-winning journalism. We are celebrating our 90th anniversary of The Appalachian in 2024!
We receive funding from the university, which helps us to compensate our students for the work they do for The Appalachian. However, the bulk of our operational expenses — from printing and website hosting to training and entering our work into competitions — is dependent upon advertising revenue and donations. We cannot exist without the financial and educational support of our fellow departments on campus, our local and regional businesses, and donations of money and time from alumni, parents, subscribers and friends.
Our journalism is produced to serve the public interest, both on campus and within the community. From anywhere in the world, readers can access our paywall-free journalism, through our website, through our email newsletter, and through our social media channels. Our supporters help to keep us editorially independent, user-friendly, and accessible to everyone.
If you can, please consider supporting us with a financial gift from $10. We appreciate your consideration and support of student journalism at Appalachian State University. If you prefer to make a tax-deductible donation, or if you would prefer to make a recurring monthly gift, please give to The Appalachian Student News Fund through the university here: https://securelb.imodules.com/s/1727/cg20/form.aspx?sid=1727&gid=2&pgid=392&cid=1011&dids=418.15&bledit=1&sort=1.
Thank you for your donation! Your donation supports the student journalists of The Appalachian at Appalachian State University. Your contribution will help us cover some of our operational costs, and continue to provide professional development opportunities for our students at App State. Thank you for your support of local journalism, and thank you for reading and following The Appalachian!
Aw, listening to music while driving the Parkway and enjoying the views is indeed “breathtaking.” As I have been doing for 25-years, good selection on the tunes, and may I say. Classical music is another way to find serenity in a fast-moving world.
