Did you know that one of the most photographed sections of the Blue Ridge Parkway is right here in Alleghany County? Of course you did. There are many scenic vistas here, but the little stretch of road at Grassy Gap draws photographers like a magnet. The gentle, sloping curves, the rugged rail fences, the pastures and the pines make for a lovely landscape that artists have tried to capture for many years.
