Afton

Tucked along the eastern slopes of Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains, Afton is a place whose character is shaped by the high mountain pass at Rockfish Gap. Here, the Blue Ridge Parkway meets Skyline Drive, while the Appalachian Trail follows the ridgeline nearby. The Blue Ridge Tunnel, completed in 1858 under engineer Claudius Crozet, runs beneath Afton Mountain and has been adapted as a public walking trail. Afton’s rural setting is also part of Virginia’s wine country, with vineyards and farms spread across the surrounding foothills.
