The Southern Highlands Attractions

The Southern Highlands Attractions (SHA) is a group of exceptional travel attractions along the southern end of the famous Appalachian Mountains, from northwestern Virginia down to northeastern Georgia.

Through the heart of this stunning terrain stretches the Blue Ridge Parkway, which originates in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park near Cherokee, North Carolina, and joins the Skyline Drive in the Shenandoah National Park of Virginia. The members of the SHA are among these parkways, or only a quick drive from them.
