Located in the Blue Ridge Mountains mountains, only 105 miles from Washington D.C., between Front Royal and the Waynesboro-Charlottesville region, this national park allows you to enjoy forest, wildlife, hiking trails, cultural sites and stunning views along the historic Skyline Drive. A real air bowl and a good escape to the springs.

The Giant Forest Museum is an interesting introduction to the peculiarities of these fascinating giants and the history of this forest. The museum is the starting point for self-guided interpretive trails to Round Meadow and Hazelwood, where you can enjoy a life-size visit. They have been rebuilt with boardwalks and bridges in difficult areas to enable visitors to enjoy the meadow and sequoias without damaging the ecosystem and natural drainage systems.

Located in the Elwha Valley, these magnificent 30-meter waterfalls are easily accessible from Highway 101. It is also the opportunity to go through Elwha River, which has undergone great upheaval in recent years.

A wooded ridge southeast of Jenny Lake. Small groups of pronghorn antilopes, the fastest of US terrestrial animals, graze near the sage throughout the day. The momentum leaves the shading of Timķisland at dawn and sunset to eat grass in the middle of the sage.

A mile east of Jackson Lake Junction. Calm water houses trout that become prey for otters, osprey, white eagles and white pelicans of America. Watch the swimming of muskrats and beavers. The momentum can be observed among abundant banks of the banks and the pasture elk sometimes in aspen wood.

Jenny Lake Scenic Drive skirts Jenny Lake and offers beautiful views of the summits. This panoramic road is a one-way street and starts south of String Lake. You will access it south from North Jenny Lake Junction.

From Bar Island, accessible on foot at low tide, the view of Bar Harbor is magnificent with its mountains in the background.

A fine sandy beach, surrounded by trees and mountains. Despite its freshness, some brave people do not hesitate to swim there during the summer. It is possible to walk a footpath to Otter Point.

Cliffs worthy of a horror film. Be careful, if you are a fan of sensational photography.... If the temptation is great, so is the danger.

The "hole of thunder" was so named because of the noise of the waves that crash into the rocks.

A veritable labyrinth of caves that makes the speleologists joy, with an infinite number of varieties of training.

The Natural Handicap Route is suitable for visitors who have time and are in good physical condition. This 2-kilometer visit follows the traditional exploration route, entering the cave through the great natural natural entrance. It goes down to more than 225 feet below the ground following steep and narrow trails, through a large and spacious passage called the main corridor. The course ends at the departure of the Big Room Road. Visitors (in good shape) wishing to do both courses can start from the Natural Intrance Route. Beneath the lights, along this path, we discover Bat Cave, Devil's Spring, Green Lake and Overlook Boneyard, a complex labyrinth of large eroded limestone rocks. By the way, Iceberg Rock, a rock of 200 ¥ 000 ¾ tons fell from the ceiling of the cave, thousands of years ago. During the season, you can take part in a guided tour conducted by the rangers.
