Another great hike with a chance to take a dip in a cool mountain pool towards the end. Spectacular views at Chimney Rock and Cavalry Rock. Also, some evidence of a forest fire along the ridge after Chimney Rock. I highly recommend this hike if you're in the area.
This is a short, but steep trail leading to some beautiful 80+ foot waterfalls.

In my opinion, one of the best hikes in Virginia. There is a bunch of fun rock scrambling near the top and some gorgeous views!!!
Lots of waterfalls and swimming holes here.
This is a favorite swimming hole for many at JMU.

Well, this backpacking trip was supposed to be a fun-filled weekend with my dad on the AT. Unfortunantly, in the first half mile, my dad fractured his ankle and couldn't go on. I took him back to the car, he headed to the ER and I headed back on the trail. The remaining trip went well. There are not a lot of spectular views on this section. I did see some birds...
My second loop on this trail - the hard way. Up Cedar Run and down Whiteoak. The falls were beautiful and the weather wasn't bad untill about 2/3's the way through the hike. All hikes should end with a swim in cold spring water!
This was my second time doing this hike and the first time was over a yera and a half ago. I completely forgot how much elevation change there was! It was a quite slow and leisurely walk with Don and my parents.I took a bunch of photos! They are on Flickr.
