We hiked Mt. Rogers last year with our kids. Mt. Rogers is the highest peak in the state of Virginia (5729 ft), and the entire hike is in the open like this, with nearly 360 degree views of the Appalachians. This is possibly my favorite hike that I’ve ever done. Unfortunately my theme does not do landscape photos justice – click the images for a larger view.

  3. Beautiful, Andrea. What a treasure to be able to spend some time in that gorgeous landscape. Hope you’re well! 🙂

  6. I was going to say those mountain look alike like ours, here in Virginia. LOL— I guess so. 🙂 I love your captures with the horsey critters happily grazing throughout the scenes. I wasn’t aware there were wild ponies in the state (other than Chincoteague Island), so I guess there I have my ‘lesson’ for the day.
