During over 50 years of travel we have stayed in nearly all the national park lodges including four – Bluffs Lodge and Rocky Knob Cabins on the Blue Ridge Parkway, Giant Forest Lodge in Sequoia National Park and Flamingo Lodge in Everglades National Park – that no longer exist. Below are videos we have taken during these visits. We have included videos of Bluffs and Rocky Knob Cabins that remain standing although they no longer offer guest lodging. Parks are arranged in alphabetical order. As will be obvious, we’re not talented videographers.
