Indian Gap
Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia
January 2, 1012
When you walk up the path , you have no idea of what is in store for yourself. There is a huge what seems like circular area of the biggest rocks I have ever seen. They would make a professional basketball player look like a short little child. Even if it did feel like 10 degrees below zero up there in the wind, it was worth the agony, and I cannot wait to return with our picnic basket, camera, and a quilt. To me the rock all have Indian-like faces to them. Maybe that is how they became called Indian Rocks. Go to this site to see some photos of the area. The article says the origin of the name in unknown.
