Description

The sun was about to set as we were nearing the Wintergreen Resort which is located in the heart of Central Virginia. Stopping at the side of the road the vivid fall colours shone out in the evening sunshine.

The Resort is adjacent to the Blue Ridge Parkway, just 90 minutes from Richmond, Va. and approximately three hours from Washington, D.C. and North Carolina.

Wintergreen’s forest represents what biologists call an eastern hardwood forest bio-community. It represents a portion of the most unique and diverse plant communities on the planet.

Wintergreen lies in a section of the Blue Ridge Mountains called Old Appalachia where rock formations were formed approximately 1.1 billion years ago during a collision event called the Alleghanian orogeny. This was accomplished much like pushing the ends of a rug together, producing raised folds in the centre. Plant and animal life followed and found their respective niches in this complex system of ridge lines, valleys and rock faces.
