We’ve written about fall foliage train rides, fall festivals, and pumpkin patches galore. But still, one of the very best ways to experience fall in Virginia is to get out and hike in it. Today’s feature trail is a challenging 3.5-mile route that offers hikers some of the best mountain views — and spectacular fall foliage — in the state. Here’s more on why you’ll want to lace up your hiking boots and explore Mary’s Rock Trail in Virginia.
The closest entrance is the Thornton Gap Entrance. Visitors should note that there’s a fee to enter the park.
