Recently back from a great camping and hiking trip to Grayson Highlands State Park located near Mouth of Wilson, Virginia.
The weather was perfect, the campsite great, the sunrises awesome, and the hiking fabulous.
Here's a photo of us at the top of Mt Rogers, the highest point in Virginia, and claims to be "highest state highpoint east of South Dakota that doesn't have a road leading to its summit". How about that? ;-)
Morning coffee at our campsite (joined by our friend Dayle).
There's no view from the top of Mt Rogers but here's the view from the nearby Appalachian Trail.
The rest of the photos are here.
Sun-Ling and John have been traveling the earth since 2008 while blogging, eating vegetarian and vegan, and riding public transportation. We love uphill day hikes, 20th-century architecture, Roman ruins, all bodies of water, local markets, shopping for groceries, aqueducts, miradors, trip planning, blablacar, and more.
