This is one of our favorite hikes with absolutely stunning views of Roanoke Valley. At a little under 8 miles, you'll want to budget at least three hours to tackle this fun trek. Add in a drive time of about 40 minutes each way as well. Very worthwhile if you enjoy hiking!

A great hike in Blacksburg. A bit steep in places but not hard if you're in decent shape. 3 miles round trip if you turn around at the fireroad on top. You can keep going though and explore what Pandapas Pond has to offer. Great map at the trailhead to get you where you want. If bringing furry friends, they will appreciate it!

A very worthwhile 4 mile roundtrip hike that affords gorgeous views of one of our most popular waterfalls. Give yourself a good hour roundtrip of driving and bring $3 cash for parking.

If you look to right from our driveway, walk toward the end of the street, make a right and you'll see a set of stairs on your left. These go down to the extensive paved trail - great for walking, running, biking!

Great pizza and fun bar scene. If you meet someone named Tommy (and chances you will), ask him for a game of pool or the basketball machine game. Tell him you know us and you’ll be sure to get a shot of Rumplemintz ;)
