"Part of a 15-mile trail run along the AT and Andy Lane trail. The trail was full of thru-hikers, wildflowers, and epic views. My first time running the AT between the Cliffs and Hay Rock. " — runshigleyrun • Apr 27, 2024
"Gina dropped us off and picked us up for a point-to-point hike. It was very windy in the open, especially on Buzzard Rock, but not in the forest. Beech Mountain was a light to moderate bushwhack out and back." — davidensley • Apr 13, 2024
"Gina drove us to the trailhead, but it was too cold and windy for her, so she drove us on to the top where it was still too cold and windy for her. I bundled up and didn’t feel it, so I hiked around the fence with light bushwhacking to candidate high points outside the fence on both sides." — davidensley • Apr 12, 2024
"My first ascent up Dragons Tooth from behind (AT north). Rugged, beautiful solitude with epic amounts of climbing that was rewarded with tremendous views. Appalachian wildflowers were waking up along historic stone walls. 11 miles (out-and-back) with 3,000+ elevation gain. " — runshigleyrun • Mar 23, 2024
"Part of an 8 1/2 mile trail run with Jake along the Appalachian Trail. Phenomenal views at Mills Gap, the base of the mountain. Peered down at the valley with the James River and Purgatory Mountain in sight. " — runshigleyrun • Mar 16, 2024
