we went to the breaks interstate park, called the grand canyon of the south. it was indeed gorgeous in the fall, and we can't wait to go back this weekend! i took a few (hundred) too many photos of course. allen kayaked russell fork with the oac and had a great time in the water. the kids and i enjoyed numerous short hikes and the beautiful views of the canyon. the second day we got to watch allen kayak a little too.
we had a bear visit the campground! that was exciting, but a little scary. we were sure glad to be sleeping in a camper that night instead of a tent! we also saw lots of deer, squirrels, chipmunks, etc. though the bear was by far the favorite!this was a great park, with views of kentucky and virginia, many overlooks with breathtaking views, great long and short hikes, a lodge with so-so food but a wonderful view of the canyon, a very cool train tunnel through the mountain, lots of wildlife, and even a playground to keep the kids busy in between all that!
