Why Virginia puts its best driving on forest ridges and one beach

Virginia is a long ridge with an ocean at one end. The U.S. Geological Survey puts the high point at 5,729 feet on Mount Rogers, on the Grayson and Smyth county line, and the low point at sea level on the Atlantic. Almost all of the interesting driving sits inside one forest: the George Washington and Jefferson, which says its own ground runs from 5,729 feet on Mount Rogers down to 515 feet along the South Fork of the Shenandoah River.
