Christians should put God before everything. Before their wife, children, materials because He is the One that gave it to them anyway. If you put God as #1, everything else will follow.

Where to go in the Appalachian Mountains South to North in a car/road trip?

Right when you get out of the airport you start heading north.

I suggest you first take a stop in the Nantahala National Forest. It's on your route north and it's right at the border of Georgia and North Carolina.

Things to do in Nantahala Forest:

-There are trails for all fitness levels, from a short woods walks to strenuous hikes to mountain peaks.

-Find Water Falls. There are many waterfalls in nearby state and federal parks (with no admission fee) to discover.

-Find the Best Views: There are lots of perfect spots to cuddle and enjoy the views of the gorgeous mountains.

-See the Smokies: Great Smoky Mountains National Park near Asheville is the most visited national park. There are 520,976 acres to explore. This International Biosphere Reserve is home to rugged mountains (many peaks in excess of 6,000 feet), historic homesteads, and 100,000 different types of plants and animals. Four entrances to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park are within 50 miles from downtown Asheville.

The Nantahala Forest is right near the city of Asheville, you can lodge there and stroll the shops in the old town.

Further North in the state of Virginia you can stop in Jefferson National Forest.

There is a lot to do in this Forest for example.

Camping:

The George Washington & Jefferson's developed campgrounds are within easy reach of many of the forests' recreational opportunities. The campground season runs from early April to about October 31.

Campground fees are determined by the amenities provided. Reservations for Morris Hill, Trout Pond and Grindstone campgrounds are made by calling the National Recreation Reservation System at 1-877-444-6777. Group campsites are available in several areas. Contact the district offices for reservation information. Non-fee sites are generally more primitive and remote. Camping is also permitted outside of developed campgrounds. Please practice the "leave No Trace" ethic. There is a 21-day limit for camping.

Trails:

The Forests have approximately 2,000 miles of hiking trails. The internationally famous Appalachian National Scenic Trail extends for more than 330 miles across both Forests. In addition, there are ten National Recreation Trails covering nearly160 miles. Whether it's hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking or riding an OHV, the forests have something for you to enjoy.

Picnicking:

The forests' developed day-use areas offer picnic sites and, in many cases, picnic shelters for larger groups. Seasonal day use parking permits are available, allowing unlimited parking at most day-use picnic and swimming areas. Please check our fee schedule for the current cost.

Fishing and Hunting:

With diverse habitats, the national forests feature some of the highest populations of wild turkey, white-tail deer, black bear, squirrel and ruffed grouse in Virginia.

The forests offer excellent opportunities for both bait and fly fishing. Native brook trout are found in more that 500 miles of streams. Many streams and most lakes are stocked with rainbow trout. Anglers also catch bass, bluegill, and channel catfish.

State regulations govern hunting and fishing. Wildlife and fish populations are managed by the Forest Service in cooperation with the Virginia Dept. of Game and Inland Fisheries and West Virginia Dept. of Natural Resources. State license and a National Forest Stamp are required for both hunting and fishing.

There are also places to stay, eat and shop. Here's a link to their website:
