Sightseeing - Nature

At the entrance of Black Water Creek Trails, this is one feature you want to make time to enjoy. According to lynchburgvirginia.org/listings/the-awareness-garden, it was built to honor families, friends, and caregivers whose lives have been touched by cancer... It is a peaceful place to go to reflect on one’s journey of healing. Like many gardens, the Awareness Garden is a place of beauty and serenity…brick-lined paths, stately trees, colorful blooms, and deep green leaves. But a closer look reveals a spirit in this garden. A spirit of hope, support, and love.

Que faut-il apporter ?

Chill mountain air even into the summer

Be sure to pack layers. Whether you are hiking off the Blue Ridge Parkway or staying in town, it helps to have a windbreaker even in the summer! Our nights are typically 10 degrees cooler than the Piedmont Region even though the daytime temps are similar.
