The Potomac River is parallel to the George Washington Parkway. Even during the colder seasons, wildlife can be seen in their natural habitat. For example, in the picture below are birds resting on the bank of the Potomac. The George Washington Parkway extends towards bridges to the District of Columbia, from the historic location of George Washington's home. The Potomac River separates the other side of a different state, Maryland (where Nesbitt Realty is also licensed). The George Washington Parkway has exits perpendicular to it, including Belle Haven, Belle View, Stratford Landing, etc.

Many tourists patronize Shenandoah National Park and Skyline Drive in Blue Ridge. “Memories of a Lewis Mountain Man” portrays how unique culture and life was for “hill-billies” or mountain people in Blue Ridge before Shenandoah Park. Even today, remnants of the said “hill-billies” are being sought after by Appalachian hikers as they trek through the Shenandoah Park. Apple Orchards are famous in the region but the industry is no longer booming as it was years ago. Yet again, White House Foods, a major apple juicer and product packager, still gets their supply of apples from this region.
