The Blue Ridge Mountains are the southernmost extension of the Appalachian range.

The Blue Ridge Mountains stretch from southern Pennsylvania to Georgia, forming the southern end of the Appalachian range. These mountains are known for their distinctive blue hue, which comes from trees releasing isoprene into the atmosphere. They are geologically ancient and ecologically rich, with notable peaks like Mount Mitchell, the highest point in the eastern United States. This region is a hub of biodiversity and cultural history.
