I have traveled across the entire length of the Blue Ridge Parkway, from Harpers Ferry, WV in the north to Grandfather mountain, NC im the south. It has many good hiking trails. The picture posted below is from the top of Old Rag mountain in VA, which is over 3200 ft and the toughest hike in Shenandoah. The most picturesque National Park on the east coast.
If you are here, Skyline Drive during sunset in VA is a sight to behold. And it's a real bonus if you visit the Valley in Fall.
