I'll be very close to the Appalachian Trail, so I could do some hikes there. Although I generally don't like to hike the AT because of crowds. However, as this will be in January, I might be able to find some solitude even there.
We'll see.
Typical view in the high mountains of Virginia. |
Tough hiking. |
I don't see much of this kind of thing in Georgia, Tennessee, or North Carolina. |
The top of the talus field on Torrey Ridge. |
I wouldn't want to hike long distance in this kind of stuff, but it was fun to venture out on it for the views. |

I've never realized there could be talus slopes like that in the Southern Appalachians. Very surprising.
I see them in Virginia and on some peaks in West Virginia. Spruce Knob, the highest summit in West Virginia has extensive talus slopes. Not sure why.
