Think of an endless string of mountain tops with some altitudes higher than Mount Washington in New Hampshire (twice the altitude of Mount Greylock in Massachusetts). Then add a roadway connecting them. That is the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina - all the rewards of mountain climbing without all the hard work.
Often you are at a point where both sides of the road are straight down. I never would have believed such a road was possible. More often than not there is no guardrail to keep you on the mountain if you should drive off the roadway.
Including the 105 mile Skyline Drive, it is a 574 mile wonder.
