High Bridge Trail State Park acquires new Willis Vail image of bridge watchman known as Uncle John. This is the rest of the story, in honor of Black History Month.

I’m part of a hiking group called Virginia Backpacking and I’m always looking for new opportunities to share with others. I've recently discovered that Belle Isle State Park offers a great winter backpacking experience.

During Black History Month, we often reflect on people and places and the impacts they made or significance they held as it relates to events past. However, the story I want to share is one that crosses many generations and continues today.

Consider a Virginia State Park for your engagement photo session, and everything's good.
