Virginia Creeper Trail

Since I'm here--minize well enjoy the best of the best. This trail has been around since before our country was founded and is chock-full of history. Extending 34 miles into North Carolina, the Virginia Creeper Trail was once forged by Native Americans, Daniel Boone, Revolutionary War soldiers before it became a rugged mountain railroad.

Should be beautiful fall weather with lots of changing leaves. I will be sure to take lots of photos! Forecast is for lots of sun and a high of 80! Guess I'll be bringing the SD weather with me.

Saw your post about the Creeper Trail. Hope you enjoy. If you're still around on Sunday at 5:00, come by for the annual picnic of the Creeper Trail Club. We'll be at the pavilion about 1/4 mile from the Abingdon trailhead. Our website is www.vacreepertrail.org
