The Nature Bus

Tourist attraction

👍👍 As a South African wanting to experience all the colours of fall I got everything I was looking for on the Autumn Glory tour. The beauty and hospitality at the Cedarmere Farm was exceptional. I have never tasted such delicious food before. Our tour leader Suzanne was very helpful, friendly and full...

Lindy Point Observation Deck

Scenic spot

👍👍 Just finished a brief weekend at Blackwater Falls and enjoyed our short time there. The first afternoon we drove out to the historic coke ovens which are quite unique. Signs provide information about their history. The trail can be access in a car, by bike or by hiking. The next morning we enjoyed t...

Pulpit Rock

Vista point

👍👍 What an incredible hike. It's a hike for the avid hikers. Bring good hiking shoes and extra water. The view from the top is worth the hike.

Seneca Rocks Trailhead

Hiking area

👍👍 First thing first, your cellphones don't work here, so there is zero reception. Huge parking lot with multiple overflow parking here and another huge parking lot at visitor center. Trail is amidst huge trees, so completely under shade. Trail is flat, although there are sections with steep incline. I...

Sharp Top Mountain Trailhead

Hiking area

👍👍 I really enjoyed the hike on Sharp Top Mountain. The parking lot was pretty much full, but the trail wasn't crowded at all. The people whom I encountered on the hike were friendly, which made the experience that much better. The views were awesome, and the trail was in very good shape.

Blue Ridge Tunnel Trail, East Trailhead

Hiking area

👍👍 Awesome little hike! I think it's about a 1/4 mile to the tunnel from the afton side, but it's a comfortable walk to the tunnel. The tunnel is awesome! It's nice and cool in there, and such an awesome experience walking through the tunnel. Bring a head lamp or flashlight, it's pitch black in there!...

Bearfence Viewpoint Trailhead

Hiking area

👍👍 ⚠️ this trail is for experienced hikers. Proper shoes, lightweight backpacks and good hydration are needed for this hike. It's a strenuous trail. Though it may be short it's a huge rock scramble. You have to watch your footing and be very cautious of loose rocks. If you have all of these things then...

Roaring Run Day Use Area

Hiking area

👍👍 The trail is very easy. Anyone can do it without a problem. One side of the loop follows a very scenic stretch of Roaring Run, with many cascades along the way. Also seems to be a bunch of swimming holes as well. Trail ends at the main drop. You can continue over the falls to go to the Iron Ore trai...

Swallow Falls Trailhead

Hiking area

👍👍 Beautiful loop trail that's just a little over a mile. It features three waterfalls along the way. Because I like to save the best for last, I walked the trail counterclockwise so I could see the biggest fall last. Absolutely worth it.

Appalachian National Scenic Trail

Blue Ridge Tunnel Trail, West Trailhead

Hiking area

👍👍 I have reviewed the east side, now for the west. This side is way more of a workout getting to and from the tunnel. More of a woodland trail where you eventually make your way to the black fence and tunnel, but with a lot of ups and downs. The tunnel from this side has a lot more brick still on the...

Old Rag Circuit Hike

4.90 (191 reviews) (~86.73 km from centre)

Blackrock Summit

Hiking area

👍👍 Important to know the trail route! Nice loop circuit IF you know to turn LEFT at the intersection on the return from the summit. View from the top is fantastic. Definitely familiarize yourself with the trail map before you head up.

Pole Steeple Vista

Hiking area

👍👍 I hiked up from the Pole Steeple parking lot. Not exactly sure in distance but it didn’t take me more than an hour and a half round trip. There is an option at one point to take the steep climb or the moderate climb. I did moderate and it wasn’t bad at all. Leaves can be tricky in the fall/winter be...

Hawksbill Summit

Hiking area

👍👍 Went for sunrise pictures. So we hiked in the dark wasn’t too bad got to the top I will say it was windy as can be. Definitely bring an extra layer 😅 we didn’t come across any bears or spot any only saw deer thankfully. The views were amazing for a sunrise.
