Blackrock Summit
Blackrock Summit, Appalachian Trail, Grottoes, VA, USA
Monday 3:00 – 7:00 (For the emails)
It’s been too long since I’ve been on a hike, and I’m also in need of a sunset. So why not finish the time before turkey time with a nice sunset when the weather should be clear. Blackrock summit is a beautiful area with a great view. It’s also super basic at only 1mi overall.
