The famous Appalachian Trail doesn't need an introduction. However, this is a great little section to explore for those who want to do a section or day hike on the trail. It's close to Damascus, which is well equipped and experienced with helping hikers on their way to the trail, should you need any last minute supplies or advice.

The Virginia Creeper Trail is one of the premier rails-to-trails works in the county. For nearly 35 miles of converted railroad hikers, bikers, and runners can explore the wilderness at their own pace. This particular section follows along the path of Whitetop Laurel Creek, with a number of bridges as the path and creek cross each other at the bottom of the valley.

Blue Hole Falls is really a collection of four different cascading waterfalls dumping into the same pool of water. The falls area is down a really short trail just off the side of the road, making this a great spot for everyone in the family to visit.

You'll have to stray a few hundred feet off the main path on a spur trail to get to the main waterfall viewing area. Elk Falls is the most well-known and popular waterfalls in the area, but Jones Falls offers some unique features (along with some solitude) that its neighbor Elk Falls doesn't. This 100-foot waterfall has two sections: the upper section is more of a sheer drop, while the bottom section is smooth rock face.
