What national park encompasses part of the Blue Ridge Mountains and is the location of the Gentle Site?
Shenandoah National Park Shenandoah National Park (often ) is a national park that encompasses part of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the U.S. state of Virginia. The park is long and narrow, with the broad Shenandoah River and Valley on the west side, and the rolling hills of the Virginia Piedmont on the east. Although the scenic Skyline Drive is likely the most prominent feature of the park, almost 40% of the land area 79579 acre has been designated as wilderness and is protected as part of the National Wilderness Preservation System. The highest peak is Hawksbill Mountain at 4051 ft .
High Allegheny National Park and Preserve The High Allegheny National Park and Preserve is a proposed National Park Service (NPS) unit in the Allegheny Mountains of eastern West Virginia. If approved, it would be established by transferring the northern portions of the Monongahela National Forest to the NPS, including the Spruce Knob-Seneca Rocks National Recreation Area (NRA); the Dolly Sods Wilderness; and the Otter Creek Wilderness. Western portions of the George Washington National Forest may also be included. Interconnecting public lands would become Preserve Areas, where hunting would be allowed; and adjacent private working farms and forests would be eligible for voluntary Heritage Area conservation easements.
