Blue Ridge Highlands Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

I found this beautifully preserved and well maintained covered bridge just a short distance from Newport, Virginia. Well worth the ride to spend a few quiet moments reflecting on how much this old world has changed since 1916.

I found this place towards the end of my last semester at Virginia Tech. It's a smaller preserve but there's still some #hiking trails worth exploring. The waterfalls are very fun to splash in.
Beautiful little church. Not sure they built it so small. Ten people would be a crowd!!!

Staff were very informative and also helpful in finding places to eat. Room was great. Outside was a little messy but understandable due to recent weather.
