On Sunday, Bob and I headed to the George Washington National Forest in nearby Nelson County to hike Crabtree Falls. To get there, we drove part of the gorgeous Blue Ridge Parkway. This road is apparently America’s longest linear park, though free to drive on (at least in Virginia). The road is 469 miles long, runs through North Carolina and Virginia, and connects the Shenandoah and Great Smoky Mountains National Parks. We barely scratched the surface but did stop at a couple of overlooks for some photo ops.
Crabtree Falls is one of the tallest sets of waterfalls in the US east of the Mississippi River. it seems to be as the place where hikers go to get in the water (disobeying multiple posted signs) with less than good resulted. We enjoyed the hike on a gorgeous 70 degree day!
