Virginia mountains

"Today I hiked to the top of Twelve O’clock Knob in Roanoke County, VA. I parked at the entrance of the access road on Twelve O’clock Knob Road on top of the mountain. There were great views and I’ve always loved this mountain growing up in Salem. First time hiking to the top, it was awesome." — jaksonlucado • May 9, 2026

"Went up to the summit and into a cloud at the same time. Looked at atmospheric soundings and LCL from slightly earlier in the day (recorded by NWS Blacksburg) and found that we were 1300 feet up into the clouds!" — colinborders • Mar 22, 2026

"After competing in the Montvale 8 1/2 mile trail race, I went out for more miles and mountains. I slowly and painfully jogged a new circuit that included phenomenal views of the Blue Ridge Parkway and mountains. Spectacular views along the ridge and burnt forest. Views in every direction, including back toward the race course I had just finished. This loop instantly became a favorite that I will enjoy again in the near future. (part of the Glenwood Horse Trail up to the BRPkwy)" — runshigleyrun • Feb 28, 2026

"Part of a new favorite 9-mile loop that includes the beautiful Dody Ridge. Epic views throughout the circuit. Shuffled along after racing 8 1/2 miles that morning. Beautiful day. " — runshigleyrun • Feb 28, 2026
