Mount Rogers National Recreation Area

High Country Recreation

On July 27, 1999, the Mount Rogers National Recreation Area (NRA) began a nine-step planning process for the Mount Rogers High Country called Limits of Acceptable Change (LAC). The main purpose of LAC is to manage recreational use and impacts. The nine-step process consists of a series of public meetings to capture ideas and help formulate a plan for the long-term management of the High Country. The LAC process is expected to take 2-3 years to complete. Once completed, there will be a PLAN that will have standards and goals for recreational use in the High Country.
