===Blue Ridge===

The Blue Ridge is a range of mountains rise up above the Piedmont and mark the point where the Applachian Mountains rise up above the Piedmont. The [[Shenandoah National Park]] and the [[Skyline Drive]] are Blue Ridge tourist destinations. Apples orchards are common in this region, but the industry is not as vibrant as it was historically. [[White House]], a major apple juicer and product packager, draws many of its apples from this region.

Cities are uncommon, perhaps unknown in this region, but "mountain people" inhabitated much of the highlands before they were converted to parks.  Mountain people, sometimes called ''hill billies'', had a unique culture devoted to life in the highland. <ref>Memories of a Lewis Mountain Man by John W.
