[quote=Anonymous]Dolly Sods at the very top is a tundra here in the mid-Atlantic that's why the vegetation looks the way it does.  The elevation is pretty high for this area of the country.  I think it is pretty cool.  You can enter the area at a lower elevation and you will get lush vegetation, streams and waterfalls.

Are you planning to hike with kids to camp?  Dolly Sods is wilderness.  Backpackers have set up campsites on flat areas in the wilderness but there aren't any facilities in Dolly Sods itself.

We go there all the time and stay at the Bright Morning Inn in Davis.  It isn't fancy but it is clean, dog friendly and serves a great breakfast included with your room.  The owner of the Inn has a friend that runs a doggy day care out of her house where you can drop off your dog for the day for $20.  The dog is well taken care of for the day and comes back exhausted.  (We take our dog hiking but not mountain biking)

Blackwater Falls State Park has cabins and a lodge, I believe.  It has been a long time since I stayed there.

The area is great for hiking, mountain biking, cross country skiing, snowshoeing and downhill skiing (such that it is here in the mid-Atlantic).  We go there year round.[/quote]
