It was a nice hike and the view was outstanding. My boy complained a little about the steepness but the short distance helped save the day. Thanks so much for checking it out!
Thanks for watching, my friend! Yes it is a nice view from up on those rocks. I'm not surprised that you had not heard of this one. This place is well off the beaten path and few people visit that area. The Alleghany Highlands is probably the last unspoiled part of Virginia.
Yeah this was a pretty steep one but also very short so not that bad. We forgot all about the climb once we saw that awesome view. Thanks so for checking it out!!!
It was a great view from up there. Yeah my boy has been with me on almost all of my summer adventures, been a lot of fun having him along. Thanks for watching, my friend!
This hike did have two real steep sections, one started right from the road just as we began the hike. Fortunately it was a very short distance, only about a mile one way up to the top. After seeing the view we forgot all about the grueling climb. Thanks for watching, my friend!
This was a cool spot. I really liked the view. Man it was a steep climb but pretty short, only about a mile up one way. This spot had been on my radar for years but I’m not out that way usually except for our annual Moomaw trip, so finally got it worked in. Thanks for watching, my friend!
Aww man it is ME who has to keep up with him lol! He did complain a little about how steep this hike was but the short distance saved the day. Thanks so much for checking it out!
Every time I see your videos I think about how badly I need to hike more in Virginia. So much to explore and see. Awesome seeing your son take in this love for nature with you. Following in the footsteps 👊🏻 Hope all is well your way!
Thanks so much for checking out this video. It is a pretty sweet view up there and of course it was awesome having my boy with me. We’re blessed to have countless fantastic places to adventure around in here in Virginia. Of course you are welcome any time, my friend!
It is a pretty sweet view. I'm surprised there is any trail at all on this mountain. This is in a very remote and lightly trafficked part of Virginia. At the "trailhead" we had to park in the ditch, no where to really "park" and the trail obviously had not been maintained in a good while. It appeared somebody had left some cairns piled up at the recommend spot for leaving the trail and its not hard to find the rocks even without any trail. As long as you start in the right direction there is sort of no where else to go LOL! Thanks for watching, my friend!
It was a great hike and a sweet view from those rocks. Yeah my son is really growing and he is getting tall for his age, sometimes a challenge finding clothes that fit properly lol! Thanks for checking out the video!
Thanks for watching, my friend! It is an awesome overlook and its really the only thing of any interest up there on this hill. It is surprising that the trail does not pass near it and there is no spur leading to it. On the other hand, it is also surprising that there is any trail at all in this area. It's a remote and very lightly used area and there are not that many good trails. Tons of great stuff to see and do off trail though if you know where to look 😉
Thanks for showing this hike. You can find some good ones. I need to find a good place for an overnight hike on Labor Day weekend, that’s close to home and probably not crowded. Any ideas for me?
Thanks so much for watching, my friend! This was a great hike with a nice view and very well off the beaten path. Mind kind of place! Hmm do I have any ideas for you? Hard to say where a good spot would be that wouldn't have a lot of people. I'm not sure exactly where you are but rough idea, you have probably already done most of the AT in your area. I've often been curious about that trail that runs along the ridge behind the Walker Mountain store/tower. I think its called the Walker Mountain Trail. It used to be the Appalachian Trail before getting rerouted. I have hiked a short distance from the country store and there were some cool rock formations within a quarter or half mile or so and some nice views towards the north. Not sure what is beyond that. Probably no water sources either since its ridge line. Could be a good hike though, I think its about 14 miles or so (don't quote me) and I think it connects with the AT (also don't quote me, I don't have map in hand). If you had somebody to drop you off or pick you up, you could hike from the country store towards the AT, then take the AT north up to Hwy 42. There is another trail I have always been real curious about but as yet I have not checked it out for myself. I think its called Roaring Fork or something like that. If memory serves its about a 3 mile linear trail that leads towards a creek in the Beartown Wilderness Area. I have no idea what that trail is like or if there is anything to see. I think it can connect with the Chestnut Ridge Trail but not certain. Check out the map and see if looks interesting or if you can loop with some other trails.
@@SmellNRoses I'm very familiar with walker MTN trail, I used to live within 2 miles of it. I'm not familiar with the one at Beartown wilderness. I will look at the map. I guess I'm leaning towards going the direction of TN since I have fine all the stuff within an hour of home.
Your son wasn't huffing and puffing. Lol That cimb wouldn't be pleasant for me but glad you can do it. When you 79 the first thing to consider is the elevation gain. Lol
Aww man it was a steep climb but fortunately it was very short, just over a mile one way to top. I'm sure you could make it. Not sure if you know it or not, but you are an inspiration to many of us. Hope to still be getting out there and adventuring later on. Thanks for watching, my friend!
Bath County has almost twice the population of Highland County, so yes you are correct, sir. Thanks for the correction. Bath County does contain the largest unbroken forest. Thanks for watching!
@@SmellNRoses I can't remember what class but I did some sort of report on it. That portion of the state is some of the most rural areas in the Mid-Atlantic. Love your videos
@@redknightsr69 Yeah other than a small handful of "popular" (relative term lol) spots its pretty remote out there. It's a fantastic part of the state. Thanks for all your support and kind comments, really appreciate it!
Really nice hike! Thanks for sharing
It was pretty good one. Thanks so much for checking it out!
@@SmellNRoses you're welcome! We really enjoy making outdoor content also
An Adventure with Nick & Rachel I’ll check out your channel
Very beautiful view. No better way to spend the day with the kiddos. Well done!
It was a sweet view from the rocks. Had a great hike with my boy. Thanks so much for watching!!
Looks like a great hike. Really beautiful scenery. Good to get out with your kids.
It was a nice hike and the view was outstanding. My boy complained a little about the steepness but the short distance helped save the day. Thanks so much for checking it out!
Sure is an awesome overlook! I'd never heard of this place until now. Thanks for showing us!

Views like that are definitely worth the climb and bushwhacking 👍
It was a steep hill but totally worth it for sure. The view was pretty sweet. Thanks for watching, my friend!
You said it... Awesome view. Thanks for sharing the view with us...
Thanks so much for checking it out!!! Appreciate it as always!
Awesome views from the rocks, love all that forest as far as the eye can see😊 Well worth the steep hike.
Yeah this was a pretty steep one but also very short so not that bad. We forgot all about the climb once we saw that awesome view. Thanks so for checking it out!!!
Awesome views, and your boy is enjoying the hikes with you too, that's even more awesome...thanks for sharing!

Good hike guys and what a nice view for a reward. Enjoyed👍
It was a nice hike. Pretty steep but we forgot all about that once we saw those views. Thanks so much for checking it out, my friend!
Wow that is STEEP!! awesome views up there, warm springs mtn across the way there looks huge too / thanks for taking us with you

@@SmellNRoses 'After seeing the view we forgot all about the grueling climb. " // love it! that's what you want
That was a great find man. Warm Springs Mountain looks huge!

The view is amazing from up there 👌
It was awesome! Thanks for checking out our video!
I'm surprised there is not a blazed trail out to the rocks - great view!

Excellent hiking video. What an interesting and beautiful place. Your son is getting so tall!

I agree with Kriz on the fact there was no trail out to that overlook point... Certainly with the look.. Awesome view!
Thanks for watching, my friend! It is an awesome overlook and its really the only thing of any interest up there on this hill.

Views look great but want to hump up the hill. It is still worth the view.
We forgot all about the tough climb once we saw those views. It was pretty awesome up there. Thanks for watching, my friend!!!
Thanks for showing this hike. You can find some good ones. I need to find a good place for an overnight hike on Labor Day weekend, that’s close to home and probably not crowded. Any ideas for me?

There are no stoplights in all of Bath County. 😊
And that makes it an awesome area! Thanks for checking out my video
Highland county is actually the least populated county.
Bath County has almost twice the population of Highland County, so yes you are correct, sir. Thanks for the correction. Bath County does contain the largest unbroken forest. Thanks for watching!
