"Immensely enjoyed a snow day with Jake. A slow, but adventurous hike to the views and the peak. Only fell once considering Jake had the zoomies most of the day from uncontained excitement. " — runshigleyrun • Jan 16, 2024
"Hiked up with Jake. He was a bit slow on this occasion, but pepped up when we visited the creek. Unfortunately, he brought home a few ticks. Saw our buddy Aaron near the peak. Beautiful views as always. " — runshigleyrun • May 22, 2023
"A brisk morning hike with Sara. The wind was blowing and bringing the temps down. However, cumulus clouds made for beautiful photos as shadows blotted the earth. A great hike for Jake, our dog , as well. " — runshigleyrun • Nov 13, 2022
"Hiked up with Sara and somehow lost the trail. Scrambled on all fours to the top just in time to locate the bench and witness a magnificent sunset. Along with the sky, the mountain was on fire with peak color. A dark descent along technical trail using flashlights on the shaded side of the mountain. " — runshigleyrun • Oct 22, 2021
"Went up with tired legs on a hot and humid morning. Ran Flat Top and extra the day before. Read Mountain is a nature preserve that begins in quite the opposite...a suburban wasteland void of nature as most of the trees were taken down and replaced with lawn. However, once on the trail and in the preserve, the forest thrives and renews your soul. Great views of the Roanoke Valley from rocky outcrops near the peak. " — runshigleyrun • Jul 18, 2021
