Blue Ridge Railroad Historical Trail

                                                                                     Good Hike

 

End of trail; when it stoped, it stopped

Tunnel at trails end

Huge pile of rocks along side trail 

                                                    

                                                                          Here's your sign

                                                                   Tunnel entrance

     Cool morning to be out in the woods. It was about an hour and forty-five minute drive for me but I enjoyed the drive. I always like to just get in the truck and go visit new roads. 

     The trail head, easy to find. The beginning of trail is a climb, washed out with 4x4 steps sticking out of the red clay. Once you get up and out of the climb the trail is a very nice walkway into the woods. It was to be a railroad bed so it has ups and downs and curves but a nice hike. I did not see any other hikers. Tunnels were started but never completed. Google the trail to learn the history of the railroads intent. 

     My counter showed I hiked 5.5 miles but I wandered off trail a few times seeing what I could see and being nosey in the woods. 

     Hey     -----      When you hike

                               Don't be in a hurry 

                                 There's no need to scurry

                              Look up and around

                                Listen for the forest sound

     Find a stump

     Take a break

     Feel the wind

     Watch trees sway

                               LIVE THIS DAY

In the Woods
