I would pick-up the AT somewhere in Giles county. IIRC Pearisburg is about the bigest town on the entire trail, and well within your area.

Mt. Rogers is fun and definitely offers a different view. Most hikes around here consist of 99% woods and 1% view, Mt. Rogers is about 80% view and 10% woods. The strange thing is that most of the wooded portion is at the top, so the only thing you'll see from the highest point in Virginia is a bunch of trees. It's definitely a very unique hike.

Oops math fail. 80% view, 20% woods.
Starting from grayson highlands state park, you're out in the open right up to the last mile or so. |
