Blue Ridge Parkway is being credited as the most beautiful place in Virginia.

Travel and Leisure compiled a nationwide list ranking the most beautiful place in every state, which included the parkway as the top choice for Virginia.

"The Blue Ridge Parkway's 'America's Favorite Drive' tagline isn't just a stroke of marketing genius," Travel and Leisure's Anne Olivia Bauso wrote. "The 469-mile drive (shared by Virginia and North Carolina) takes you through some of the most stunning scenery in the southeastern U.S. One example? Natural Bridge, a 215-foot-tall "overpass" spanning 90 feet to connect solid limestone cliffs. Don't forget good hiking shoes and your phone charger because there are hundreds of trails and photo opps."
