The Mills Gap Overlook is a short detour off of the Appalachian Trail, but it is definitely worth getting off the trail and stopping to enjoy the view. The viewpoint is also right where the Blue Ridge Parkway intersects with the trail, so there is a good chance you will see others enjoying this spot.

The Memorial Bridge of Roanoke supports the Roanoke River Greenway and has wide sidewalks on both sides of the car lanes that bikes use. The bridge has two-lane traffic and spans 785 feet across the Roanoke River. While riding here, pay attention and find all five plaques, with quotes from Patrick Henry, Theodore Roosevelt, Stonewall Jackson, and Thomas Jefferson. The last plaque has the names of World War I victims.

The greenway is an easily accessible multi-use trail that runs along the Roanoke River. There are multiple points of access and a number of nice parks along its route. It can get busy with cyclists, walkers, and runners though so be aware of your fellow trail users.
