This nature guide to the Blue Ridge Mountains is divided into three parts. The first is an introduction to the major geological and natural features and processes at work in the region. The second is a guide to specific localities along the Skyline Drive and Blue Ridge Parkway, as well as nearby state and national parks, where one can see the features that make the Blue Ridge a classic locality for gaining an understanding of the origin of mountains and for studying the diverse array of ecosystems and organisms found in this temperate mountain forest setting. The third part of the book functions as an identification guide to the rocks and minerals, trees and wildflowers, and birds that one is likely to encounter while exploring the Blue Ridge.
