Virginia County

Scott County, Virginia

Gate City and Natural Tunnel State Park - from Natural Tunnel State Park (a natural limestone tunnel 850 feet long and up to 10 stories high carved by Stock Creek through a mountain ridge in Scott County - Daniel Boone reportedly called it the eighth wonder of the world, and today the tunnel carries an active railroad while hikers descend by chairlift to experience one of Virginia's most dramatic geological features) to Scott County's Powell Valley Appalachian heritage (the Powell Valley's broad agricultural bottomlands and surrounding mountain ridges support a farming and coal economy shaped by generations of Appalachian families in Virginia's far southwest corner near the Tennessee border).
