Cool trail that goes all the way from mountains to outer banks. What a walk that’d be!

Very nice Trail reminds me of Home in Connecticut. It's close to the road most of the way but it doesn't matter because it's the Blue Ridge Parkway and there's a lot of elevation up and down so you get good exercise.
