| Looking east from Sugarland Overlook in Grayson Highlands State Park, the valley and, in the distance, the Blue Ridge Mountains. |
We stopped at Grayson Highlands State Park which borders Mount Rogers National Recreation Area on the south. There are 9 hiking trails in Grayson as well as access to almost 3 miles of the Appalachian Trail, which runs from Georgia to Maine. 78 miles of the Appalachian Trail lies within the Mount Rogers NRA and is only 1/2 mile from the summit of the mountain.
The Virginia Creeper Trail, a 34 mile hiking - biking trail converted from the Norfolk and Western Railway roadbed also traverses the Mount Rogers National Recreation Area. The trail starts in Abingdon, Virginia and ends near the North Carolina state line.
Ever so often, an old settler's cabin .....from days long past......would appear.
From the beauty of the mountains, the church steeples with the mountains as their backdrops, the creek beside the highway rushing over the rocks.......we were suddenly back to reality. The tornadoes that struck our towns in Mississippi and Alabama, in April, had made their way to the mountains of Virginia. Trees had been splintered, as if they were match sticks. Houses had been blown apart and leveled. Semi-trailers had been crumpled, as if they were toys in the hands of a child.
On one side of the mountain.....beauty, and on the other.......tragedy.
Love Virginia. We spent many Veteran's Day weekends at Skyland Lodge hiking in Shenandoah National Park.
ReplyDeleteLori: There's so much to see.....and the mountains are certainly much cooler than back home!
