Two new webcam views let you say in touch with the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Two new webcam views let you stay in touch with the Blue Ridge Parkway.

The addition of two web cameras along the Blue Ridge Parkway give you a couple more options for watching fall color the forests that border the scenic roadway.

One of the cameras is at the Blue Ridge Music Center at milepost 213 on the Parkway. It shows views of the outdoor amphitheater, surrounding mountains, and visitor center.  

Viewers can see the images at this site. The other webcam feed is from at The Bluffs Restaurant at Doughton Park and can be seen at this site.

Funding for the cameras was provided by donors to the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation. The project was completed in collaboration with the National Park Service.

“The web cameras are a wonderful way to stay connected to the beauty of the Parkway from afar,” said Carolyn Ward, CEO of the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation. “They also allow people to check weather conditions before they visit the Music Center."

The Blue Ridge Music Center celebrates the music and musicians of the mountains. The Music Center is a national park facility, a major attraction along the Blue Ridge Parkway, and a venue partner of The Crooked Road: Virginia's Heritage Music Trail and Blue Ridge Music Trails of North Carolina.

The Blue Ridge Parkway/National Park Service maintains and operates the facility, and staffs the Music Center Visitor/Interpretive Center. The programs are managed, coordinated, promoted, and produced by the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation, a nonprofit partner organization. For more information, visit BlueRidgeMusicCenter.org.
