Brinegar Cabin on the Blue Ridge Parkway

Brinegar Cabin represents a very old style of mountain living which was enacted
and thus preserved well into the 20th century.

Just up the road on the Parkway is the overlook where one can peer down at
Caudill Cabin, several hiking miles away in a roadless valley.
