The Greatest Day Hiker Of Them All pretends she is going to have a hard time climbing Highcock Knob, here still a mile or so into the distance on the return walk.

Over Highcock Knob to Views of the James

The tangle of pretty trails through the James River Face Wilderness has confused us a bit over the years, and continued to do so this day.

The Longest 3.4 Miles Around

With a cold day before us and grandson Matthew along, a fire-ready destination seemed in order.
The Dragon's Tooth formation hides Matthew pretty well.

Rock Scrambling and Luch with Grandson in Tow

With grandson Matthew in tow and occasionally in front, we used a pretty afternoon to take on this pretty easy hike.

Early Wildflowers on the AT

With its three distinct sections, this hike is a good one for nearly-spring when, especially in the lower section along the creeks, the early wildflowers are popping.
Ol’ Fluff has for 10 years been a loyal, obedient, kindly pet, with no real faults except for his penchant to answer, now and again, to the call of the wild.

A Good Dog Comes Home

Kurt's family's dog Fluff, who disappeared on a hike back in November, has come home again! This is Kurt's column, published in the March/April issue of The Roanoker, Blue Ridge Country's sister magazine.
