Great Times!
Whether you ride with a group or by yourself, have fun. Sometimes the group you are riding with itself can make for a great ride. I can’t thank Randy Jenkins enough for getting a great group of people together for a truly memorable ride.
The 200,000-acre Mount Rogers National Recreation Area is part of the George Washington and Jefferson National Forest in southwest Virginia. The mountain is named for William Barton Rogers, the founder of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the first state geologist of Virginia.
Many activities are available in the area including camping, picnicking, sight-seeing, bird watching, trout fishing, hunting, hiking, bicycling, horseback riding, cross-country skiing, and swimming. The U.S. Forest Service has 3 rental cabins and 11 campgrounds in the Mount Rogers NRA, four of which are set up for horseback riders. There are over 500 miles of trails in the area, including 60 miles of the Appalachian Trail, 18 miles of the Virginia Creeper Trail, and 67 miles of the Virginia Highland Horse Trail.
