We started our time in Virginia by playing at the water park at our campground.

The next day we explored the park by driving the Skyline Drive through the center of the park & caught a great Jr Ranger program. This park has a very interesting and quite controversial past because they actually forced families from their mountain homesteads to create the park. But as part of the great Appalachian Trail it has created a space for people on the east coast to enjoy these beautiful hills.
