8 miles of hiking • 2750' elevation gain •
Snuck out for a nice hike while on vacation back east. I'd almost forgot how much I enjoy hiking the Blue Ridge mountains. The flora diversity is amazing and nothing smells quite like a deciduous forest. Plus, at 50F, it was a nice relief after 95+ at the Outerbanks the previous week. Not that I'm complaining about warm weather at the beach...
