Tucked into the Blue Ridge Mountains, this small city offers a gateway to outdoor adventures that feel worlds away from urban life. Hike through the lush trails of George Washington National Forest, where scenic vistas reward every climb. Animal enthusiasts can't miss Virginia Safari Park, where exotic creatures roam freely in a drive-through setting that brings wildlife encounters to your car window. The nearby Natural Bridge State Park showcases a limestone arch that left even Thomas Jefferson awestruck. For a cultural detour, visit the VMI Museum in neighbouring Lexington. After a day exploring, locals recommend watching the sunset paint the mountains in watercolour hues from one of the city's elevated viewpoints.

We traveled and camped in both the Smokey's and Shenandoah National Parks. Skyline Drive in Shenandoah National Park is at the ridge with many amazing vistas. Camping in the National Parks on 100 Anniversary of the creation of the National Parks was very exciting. We met a lot of great people as well as exchanged stories about out travels and volunteering in the NP.
