Cold Mountain

This past Sunday Anna and I went to Cold Mountain for an afternoon hike. The hike is roughly 6 miles of mountainous yet mild terrain through a series of peaks and valleys. The last 2.2 miles of the trail is along a section of the AT which brings you up to these beautiful high mountain meadows at 3,800ft. (according to my watch... not sure of actual altitude). There is an incredible 360 degree view of the surrounding area. It never fails to amaze me how many beautiful spots there are in Virginia that I have yet to find.

We reached the meadows right around 5 o'clock in the afternoon and decided to stay put until sunset, which was amazing! We hiked down by the light of the nearly full moon and made it back to the car around 6:30. All in all the hike took nearly 3 1/2 hours including the time spent just sitting around waiting for the sun set. I highly recommend this hike!!
