ℹ️ About the Episode
A few weeks ago, we mentioned 5 scenic drives in our top 10 National Parks videos. One of those was the Skyline Drive inside Shenandoah National Park. In response, we received so many comments about the Blue Ridge Parkway-and wow, they were right! We had no idea that this parkway was one of America's favorite drives, just like Route 66. The Blue Ridge Parkway connects Shenandoah National Park to Great Smoky Mountain National Park, with plenty of historical and unique stops along the way. Having just learned about this drive, we only got a taste of the gems along the way, but we're happy to shine some light on this part of the country for other RVers who may not know about it yet, either. In this episode, we spend all of our time near the south entrance of Shenandoah. Mostly, we just didn't know how big this National Park was. The Old Rag hike was 1.5 hours away! These are some of the obstacles we face when changing plans last minute. If you recall, our original plan was to go to back to Helen, GA. But snow sent us to Kitty Hawk instead, and a new route unfolded. As often happens, we found ourselves going with the flow-which often makes a trip even better. We hiked Crab Tree Falls and the newly restored Blue Ridge Tunnel before walking the streets of Charlottesville, soaking in all the American history. This is a place we'll come back to for sure!

I love show… I watched it faithfully for many seasons. Then… my husband became sick with cancer in which time he got Covid and passed away this past July. He loves your show so much!!! I have just recently this week been able to start watching again without falling apart. I wanted to take the time to let you know that you guys were part of our lives and I will continue to be one of your subscribers. Thank you for what you do. 😁
Love this. One foot in front of the last, Regina. The KYD crew is always uplifting.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Your family is in our prayers. September 2020 I had two brain aneurysms and KYD was super supportive with encouragement. They are truly inspirational.
🙏❤️ blessings to you Regina! Thank you KDD and wonderful community! Blessings to all of you! ❤️🙏
Born and raised. I'm so glad you all loved Charlottesville. I'll never leave.
Is this your Favorite yt show
Caleb is such a positive well-adjusted teenager that genuinely loves, respects and enjoys his parents. He seems happy! Not like most teens that are miserable and cause trouble.
Remarkable young man.
Totally agree!
Absolutely, love to meet him and have a good kid talk with my child.
Parents had a lot to do with it!
Yes! All of your kids seem to maintain such a good relationship with their parents and each other.
My husband doesn't laugh out loud often, but he did at your "a frog has something to do with it" line. But then you showed a picture of a turtle and he lost it. Thank you. I love his laugh.
Also Crabtree Falls is now on our list. Beautiful.
Caleeb is just growing into such a great young man as he follows his siblings!
Caleb: You make hanging with the parentals look like so much fun. Rock on KYD Family.
It's beautiful. Granddaughter went to James Madison Univ in Harrisonburg VA.... it's right around where you were, because we've been to the cider place! When she graduated from college.. she and friends started in So VA and did 1500 MILES of the Appalachian Trail! Unbelievable country. Glad you enjoyed it. AND, in the fall she's going to grad school at UVA in Charlottesville and live in The Range... built by Thomas Jefferson! :) You might be able to tell that I'm pretty proud of her!
Talk about Summer to Remember!Your trip brought back memories of our trip to Charlottesville summer 2006 when we rented a class C RV with our 3 daughters and went to visit colleges -UVA and Thomas Jefferson home on the list before camping in Shenandoah Park! This was our 1st RV trip ever so Newbies doesn’t begin to describe the adventure. 1st major snag-in historic downtown Charlottesville looking for parking and came across a railroad bridge just about to drive under when Mike stops in the middle of the curved road and says what does that sign say?? the rig too tall to go under the bridge! Then began the 15 point turn in the RV with stopped traffic in both directions and our 3 teenage girls cowering in hopes no body would recognize them! We still talk about that trip with the grandkids now and how really beautiful the area is. Many more VA stories for sure so thanks for the memories
This had a really cool old Skool KYD video feel. Love it!
I am glad you guys took the time to explore my back yard. Virginia may not have the mountain peaks like Colorado or the worlds largest volcano like Wyoming but we do offer some of the most scenic drives in America. The I81 corridor from North Carolina to West Virginia is the longest section of that interstate and one that offers beautiful views and lots of things to do and see. Hope you guys enjoyed your visit. P.S. Devils Backbone Brewery is a national brewery now owned by Budweiser with 2 locations in Charlottesville.
I gotta tell you guys. No matter what kind of day someone has had, watching your videos has to put a smile on a person's face. Great content, excellently done. We haven't met up yet, but I very much look forward to the day. Have fun out there, you guys.
Mark, you are a lucky man that your wife likes to hike, nuff said. Treat each other well and keep smiling.
Virginia and my home state WEST VIRGINIA....are so beautiful.. so glad to have grown up here!!!!
You're in our backyard! Sorry you had to endure our very cold Spring this year but I'm happy you made it into the beautiful Shenandoah Valley, Afton Mountain, Waynesboro, and Charlottesville area. Yes it's beautiful and yes there is a lot to do. You only scratched the surface. Glad you made a good time of It in your stay here. Come back again.
Loved this episode! We live 20 minutes north of the northernmost entrance to SNP which is in Front Royal, VA. If you get this way again, consider the Winchester area. Tons of civil war battlefields and history. Winchester changed hands many many times during the Civil War. Beautiful town.
Hi there Christina
Virginia has so much to offer, especially Trish and historical stuff.
So much positivity here, so much joy!
It’s a real treat spending time with you folks.
Rock On
Absolutely beautiful! The waterfall, the tunnel hike, .... everything was amazing
How are you doing Diana
We used to live in Woodstock VA. Skyline Drive is beautiful any time of the year, as is Woodstock! Quaint little town. If you get a chance to stop there, you'll love it! There's a great Civil War museum in New Market, just South of Woodstock.
How are you juanita
Lol Mark channeling his inner Marty Byrde was impressive
Going to do Shenandoah and Blue Ridge this year for 3 weeks in June. Last year we did it for a month about the same part of the year. Had a great time. Some of the areas didn't have cell phone service and had to make sure you put stuff away at night because of bears. In one place we got visited twice in one night by bears. you have to be careful and they won't bother you. If you are 65 and above get your senior pass. You get into the parks free and government campgrounds are 1/2 price. A lot to see and do.
Living in Upstate South Carolina, the wife and i have been to both Shenandoah National park (Skyline drive) and the Blueridge parkway many times...camping and hiking...some of our favorite places to go...especially in the spring or fall...LOT'S OF STUFF TO DO!!
I’ve been watching for years and you finally made it to my home turf! You guys did a great job of showing it off. It’s now my favorite episode, thanks!!
I was thinking the same thing 😀
We live in Staunton Va. so most of these hikes were right down the road for us. We are really lucky to have such great day trips such as the tunnel and Crabtree Falls so close. Another great hike with amazing views within 15 minutes of the tunnel is Humpback Rocks which is also on the Parkway. Glad you guys enjoyed our neighborhood!!
Same for me. Live in Chesapeake VA and have spent a lot of time in that area. Great to see it in an episode.
I heard you mention Old Rag. Now that’s a wonderful hike. I live in Rappahannock county and have always thought you guys should do an episode around this area. Wear your best shoes!
Same - watching from Fluvanna - nearly emailed them some suggestions, including Bold Rock and the tunnel, a few weeks back when they first mentioned coming this way.
Gotta say, that Marty impression was spot on!
Lol
I used to drive the Skyline Drive and camp in Lewis Mountain back in the early 1970’s. I spent a month every summer in Charlottesville, so traveling the Skyline Drive made so much sense. My husband and I owned an MGB convertible and we loved driving it on that magnificent route. We were joined on Lewis Mountain by his parents and little brother. Those were wonderful times. We used to camp for several days there. I was in my early twenties and could hike and climb so easily. Now, I use a cane and walker. It is wonderful to look back and remember those experiences.
I love this area of VA! I have to get back there. Loved the camp ground you showed! Always love your videos!
Hey there
Please note at Devils Backbone, full hookups, the water and electric posts are every other site x2. Meaning, one site has the hookups on the back of a camper as normal, but then the next site will need to run water and electric under your camper and through your camp side and hookup to the back of the next camper's site. You NEED more than 20-25' of each.
While I was told that we could borrow their backups, apparently people ruined it and didn't return them. They don't have extras, at least in 2021.
We found an auto repair place in town who actually sells camping gear. They were out of stock of water hoses, so a run to Walmart which wasn't close.
Now we're setup with an extension for the electrical cord and shorter water hose that has come in handy when not needing a 25' hose. But, if you don't have these beforehand / already, then expect a hour or two driving to hunt them down or you won't have full hookups there.
If/when you go to Lake Lure, be sure to go to Sierra Nevada Brewery by the Asheville airport. You will not be disappointed!
If you loved that tunnel…..you ABSOLUTELY need to visit Nemo Tunnel 21 in Wartburg Tennessee…..you can drive your truck through it. Look it up.
We stayed at Devil's Backbone campground for our first night in our camper.❤
I lived in Takoma Park MD in the 70s and would go up to the Blue Ridge Parkway and Skyline Drive every opportunity I could. I used to go to Camp Blue Ridge which is just west of Crabtree Falls on the same road. I would come in on Hwy 211 (Luray) then go south.
Several years ago we rode our motorcycles down the Blue Ridge Parkway. Got caught in a huge storm and my cycle kept dying because of the rain in my air intake! Finally made it to our motel even though there were no signs for it!!! Drenched and cold to the bones! Love all your episodes!!
peanut butter and honey sounds amazing!
Trish, long Johns!!!! Dress in layers!!!
Cracking up!!! You said, "I sound like Jason Bateman". Am I the only one that had thought that about your voice before? Thanks for your videos!!!!
Woot Woot! Summer 2 remember tshirt arrived today ! 😀 Now if we can just run into you over the Summer
Hi Shannon
You are entering our neck of the woods. Very exciting, and... did I spot Liberty University? You walked right by my daughter's dorm building. Both our son and daughter are students there and they are very happy - great college. This part of Virginia is so classic. Hidden gems everywhere.
So refreshing to see you guys back on the trails……
I so love how your family interacts. 💛
Next time you go thru that area , if you haven't been yet Luray Caverns on hwy 340 is a must stop.. absolutely beautiful
Thanks Again...Glad You Got To Go To Church...Praise The Lord Amen...Safe Travels
Two years ago we did the whole Skyline Drive and Blue Ridge Parkway (570 miles, 11 days) with our travel trailer. We stayed at the Devils Backbone Brewery for my birthday. One of our best trips ever!
We have 21,000 miles on our class B. 5,000 were put on taking it to and bringing it home from being converted. Most of the rest was put on in Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina and Kentucky. Incredible landscapes with nearly infinite opportunities to touch a waterfall.
I always love it when a KYD episode queues up and it's right in my home turf, great video guys! I also enjoyed the cape Charles episode awhile back. I hope you were able to spend some time in Charlottesville beyond what you shared, as it really is an incredible area with a TON of history.
Fun fact, Crabtree falls was my son's first hike, he went the whole way up at age 2!
Keep up the great videos!
Southern Living magazine has been with us since the 70s when we began moving to different parts of the country for hubby's jobs. It's the best-glad you discovered it.
We love the Blue Ridge! In-laws summer home is just above Devil’s brewery/distillery.
We are in Botetourt County Virginia. The Parkway is in my backyard. Welcome to Southwest Virginia!
These are my favorite kinds of videos, when you go on adventures, and the reason I started watching a few years ago ❤️
Thank you for sharing your walk through the tunnel. It is so historic looking, what a great walk.
I will never, ever walk that far through a dark tunnel. 😮
There is a Shenandoah Mills Made of Heavy Timber that was deconstructed and reconstructed in the Town of Gilbert AZ. It is now a wedding venue. You should come and see it in my home town.
Loved this episode! Virginia is a beautiful state and you certainly confirmed that. Thx for taking us all along with you every week.
I live in Virginia and I'm loving that you are here. You all are so great 👍 iv been to all those places. Enjoy 😉
I’m so glad you did the tunnel trail. We stumbled upon it last summer and then stumbled upon Charlottesville as well. Loved both experiences. So glad to relive it tonight!!
Thanks for bringing us along!
Born and raised in VA. Still one of my favorites.
Bryson City NC has an old tunnel called Road to Nowhere. It starts in NC and connects to Tennesee. Bryson also has Great Smoky mtn Railrroad. The tunnel is a short hike.
Love your Jason Bateman reference, watching that show now for the first time. I now really want to go to Charlottesville.
Everybody watching this should go watch the video linked on the construction of the tunnel. The commitment of the "expendable" Irish workers who dug the tunnel using only hand drills and black powder is amazing. Even the slaves that were used were eventually removed because it was too dangerous and THEY had value. Then in modern times the 19 years it took to uncover and restore the tunnel was a huge effort. Everyone walking through this tunnel should stop in the middle should give a prayer of thanks to the blood and bones of those workers that still remain in the ground underneath.
Happy Sunday everyone, RV season begins in five days! Hope to see everyone in their summer to remember gear this season! Love yall 3000!
We were in Shenandoah a few years back. Loved skyline drive! It was during the pandemic, so not a lot else was open. We need to go back! Lynn and Danny
You're right where we love to be. We haven't made it up through Shenandoah yet, but the Blue Ridge Parkway is a favorite of ours. We love camping along the BRP.
Missed living there, and but never enjoyed the traffic, and long ride to work each way. The countryside, and history is just amazing.
Exploring new and unexpected places is so exciting even if you don't touch a waterfall this time. Lovely exploration, thanks.
A great Sunday video! Thanks y’all ❤️
absolutely love this video I spent many weekends growing up traveling skyline drive and the blue ridge parkway as there are lots of cool things to see and experience
So much fun!!!! Wish I was with you all!!!
Thank you for an inspirational video. Virginia is right on our border and you reminded us how much stuff there is to see kind of close by, within 4 hour drive. Thank you. I love watching yall on Sundays. Great family
My brother, cousin and I tent camped next to the Shenandoah River. Great to kayak and just enjoy the beautiful mountains and the water was crystal clear and was a sheet of rock underneath.
My family and camp friends camp at Devil Back Bone every October. It is always great to be in the mountains
Great video as always everyone. Very funny Marcus, reminds me of our childhood. Trish you are a "Leach" true & true (outdoors, hike & exercise). Love it 💕
Well hello down here :) Let's catch-up soon!
@@KeepYourDaydream yes indeed!!
@@catherinecollier2727 how are you Catherine
I landed in Charlottesville, toured Thomas Jefferson's place, and ended up staying two more days! That's because I stayed in Shenandoah, along the river, canoed on the river, then took the trail in the Shenandoah Valley in mid-late, October and saw the Fall colors. That was an amazing trip, and no doubt, the shoulder of Spring would have been equally enjoyable!
Love seeing you all in VA. Welcome! Glad you enjoyed your time. Every time I have done Crabtree Falls I forget just how long that 1.5 miles seems, but so worth it. And Old Rag is one of my all-time favorites.
Still chilly in Maryland. Loved the tunnel. Safe travels!
I love Virginia and the drives in the mountains are amazing. This is so close to where I live in DC. Loved seeing it through your eyes. It is so awesome and good for the soul!
*Classically* provincial Charlottesville & the "tunneling" spectacular. The trekking Blueridge parts of parkway awesome ‼️🎥📸
We love watching you guys. Great video. Thank you for taking us where some of us are unable to go. 🥰
Thank you so much for this introduction to a whole world that I didn’t realize existed! We usually think of the Blueridge Parkway in terms of the southern end down near Cherokee, NC. We will have to start thinking Virginia! That tunnel hike was fantastic! Charlottesville is fantastic! YOU guys are fantastic! I really like that you make a point to go to a local church wherever you find yourselves. Tricia, you always look beautiful.
We moved from the UK, lived in Charlottesville for 15 years and raised our family so we can attest its a wonderful town. We learnt so much Anerican History in that part of the world including Williamsburg and Philadelphia.
Love watching your adventures. The kids are great and Caleb is such a joy. Hugs from Mesa AZ
I actually live about 1 mile off parkway near mile marker 271 in NC. Love it, especially in the fall.
Before hitting the road full time we lived in VA for over 20 years. They have so many amazing hikes. Near Shenandoah National Park in Linden, VA there is an award winning winery called Fox Meadow Winery has amazing wines. Love that area. Glad that you were able to experience it. Mary💕Fred
Hello Trish, Mark, & Caleb! Welcome to Virginia! So glad to see you chose the beautiful Blue Ridge Parkway. Take your time & enjoy the sights. Your not far from me. Exciting.
Yay! Virginia! Just moved home myself for a minute before going Full-Time!! See ya out there!
You guys always put out wonderful videos. Been watching for a few months. Great family doing some fun things together. Thanks for the content.
I don't know how it's possible, but you all never looked happier then you do in this video.
It was a COLD April for Virginia (it's normally 15 degrees warmer than it was this year) .... Fun episode for me.. I grew up backing up the the Shenandoah National park... I've stayed at Devils Backbone... I've drank at Bold Rock... I've been to Montpelier .... You probably drove past my town at one point!!
We lovvvveeee Devil’s Backbone. Glad you made it to Virginia!
Beautiful. Really enjoyed..thank you.
Love the place where you clean out your vehicles. Great job! I've always like going through tunnels so this was fun to watch. The hikeing looked to be fun with all the views and history. Thanks! Hugs to Charlie and Love y'all.
What a beautiful park, trail and state. Your travel channel is by far the best and my favorite.
Church on Sunday! Love it!!
Yes, we definitely have a rule changer in this travel team. Sometimes it’s just what the travel plan needs, because you never know what’s around the corner. What you expect is not necessarily what you get.
Your videos are always so enjoyable. Thank you for sharing.
We camp Misty Mountain several times per year and Devils Backbone and Bold Rock are always on our list. The Blue Ridge Parkway is an amazing place to hike and sight see. Happy to see places that are familiar to me get this kind of wonderful attention.
I felt like I was watching my summer vacations. We travel to this whole area every summer! Been going to Bold Rock since it was a barn starting out.
This is great. Thank you for sharing the history on your travels. The beautiful landscape. Touch a Waterfall is great, I may take this one as I travel with my 13 & 11 year olds from San Diego to Port Orchard, WA. Safely touch a waterfall. It’s not a slip and slide. Last Fall my daughter in Port Orchard took me to a similar 1st homesteading near her in WA with the hen house, smoke house, stable, early games, caretakers house, and the bunk house. Again the history of the early settlers. Can’t wait for the National parks you will be seeing this season. Safe travels.
KYD, you did a great job of showing off my stomping grounds! Crabtree falls are beautiful any time of year!! It doesn’t sound like much of a hike but it’ll get your heart rate up! The views are worth the effort! The tunnel is a great jaunt. Especially on a warm summer evening! The campground is just down the road. So glad y’all enjoyed a piece of our world! Love to watch you every Sunday night!
Thanks for adding the tunnel video. Very interesting
Nice, you all weren't far from us at all. If you haven't yet, check out natural bridge. There's a nice short hike there as well back to some falls.
Awesome hike!
