>>1908973I worked in a conservation corp which operated primarily in the South, and got to travel to different parks for work, here are the most notable ones;
Mammoth Cave, Kentucky (beautiful landscape, I've always thought the topography of northern Kentucky was something out of LOTR. There's this segment of horsetrail down a hillside there and there are these huge boulders which are almost perfect cubes)
Buck's Pocket, Alabama (has a really cool pond system, it looks beautiful in the Fall/Winter)
Monongahela, West Virginia (Almost all of WV that isn't coal mines has been largely untouched by man and is beautiful, if hard to get around. Really hilly, too)
Daniel Boone, Kentucky (Has a beautiful lake and some nice mountain views over it)
Kolomoki Mounds, Georgia (Nice trails, somewhat swampy. They grow Trillium plants there)
Sumter Park, South Carolina (Not Fort Sumter from the Civil War, but close by and really mountainous. It's also big and has a bunch of overlook trails)
Mt. Mitchell, North Carolina (The highest point in the US east of the Mississippi. I worked there in the dead of Summer and it was 50 degrees with 30 mile an hour winds. I think this one may be the most unique if you have to pick)
That's all I can think of off the top of my head, anon.
