A screenshot of the new Virtual Blue Ridge Bookstore home page.
In 2001, Virtual Blue Ridge opened an online bookstore. The purpose was to complement our online resource with a selection of high quality books and maps that a person could use offline to plan their trips. As the years went by, and Virtual Blue Ridge became more and more of an authority site on the Blue Ridge Parkway, we increased our offering of products.
In 2005, the success of our bookstore attracted the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation to embark in a joint venture relationship where we operated as their official online store. From November of 2005 through February of 2011 the partnership between the Foundation and Virtual Blue Ridge offered products whose aim was to allow the customer to celebrate and benefit the Parkway at the same time, leading up to the 75th Anniversary celebrations in 2010. It was a wonderful journey indeed!
Shortly following the close of the 75th Anniversary, the Foundation discontinued their online store, and we are once again operating as the Virtual Blue Ridge Bookstore. The store as it stands now reflects a new beginning, one that honors our informational tradition by offering the products that visitors to the area want most and one that shapes a path into the future, as we expand beyond the boundaries of the Blue Ridge Parkway to encompass the Blue Ridge region.
Join us on this path of discovery, and learn about all the joys the Blue Ridge area has to offer.
Happy Travels!

Appalachian State University’s Outdoor Programs is seeking your help in identifying the High Country’s role models and young mountain sports stars. These young men and women will be recognized through the first ever A4 inititiative – Appalachian Adventure Achievement Award. Honors will include recognition on stage at the Banff Mountain Film Festivals, and a selection of prizes made possible by project sponsors.
There are two age categories for the A4: 17 and under, and 18-24 years old. Nominees must either reside or attend school in the High Country of NC (Watauga, Ashe, and Avery counties) to be eligible. Nominations can be submitted for individuals in successive years, but a nominee can only receive the A4 once for their age category. The April 1 screening of Banff will recognize the 17 and under A4 winner, while the April 2 screening will honor the 18-24 year-old A4 winner.
Deadline for nominations is March 18, 2011. For more information on nominations, and to actually submit a nomination, please check out the A4 Nomination Form.

These films focus on themes of environment, culture and adventure in the mountains and represent the best of the best. Hundreds of entries were submitted from around the world and Outdoor Programs has selected films for this viewing that will not only educate, but will also inspire and entertain you.
Online ticket sales for Banff can be purchased through Farthing Auditorium, or if you’re in downtown Boone, NC you can pick up your tickets at Footsloggers Outdoor and Travel Outfitters. Tickets are $9 (students can grab tickets at $7).
