The Nature and Parks section of The Destination Guide is always makes for interesting viewing and it was there that I found Skyeridge Parkway Mountain Retreat. The location is inspired by The Blue Ridge mountains in the United States Of America and provides some extremely scenic views.

There’s a road winding around the sim that climbs to the higher reaches, or if prefer rail travel there’s a rail carriage that runs alongside the road.

There’s also a social side to the region with a bar that has a flashing sign advertising Jazz, although I do not know if Jazz is actually performed here.

This is also advertised as a retreat, aimed at couples, who may want to rent a cabin or explore the region. It’s not hard to imagine a couple exploring the sim, in the pale moonshine our hearts entwine, where she carved her name and I carved mine.

The Blue Ridge Mountains in the USA cover a large area in the USA, a representation in Second Life therefore can’t capture the whole thing. I did wonder if I was in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, where therefore I’d be on the trail of the lonesome pine. However I could find no sign of the trail of the lonesome pine, alas.

Thaddeus Tobias has created a video on Vimeo regarding the region, which I will embed in this post but be warned, there is a brief sighting of a scantily clad lady and you may see virtual buttocks!

This is a very scenic and very photogenic region that is well designed with the roads and rail tracks rising in the air to make good use of the available space.
