Savannah Wedding Trip, Day 4
The Virginia Creeper National Recreation Trail is a renowned 35-mile rail-trail in southwest Virginia running from Abingdon to White Top Station, famous for its 46 trestle bridges, lush scenery, and rural landscapes. I was very excited as I unloaded my cross bike at the Abingdon Terminus.
The trail has two sections. The first is a relatively flat section from Abingdon to Damascus and the second section, from Damacus to White Top, is a steady 1,800 foot climb to White Top Station.

| Welcome and the first of many bridges |
 |
| Plenty of Airbnb's to rent |
The trail from Damascus to Whitetop was being actively regraded. It was awful!
 |
| Turned around at MM25. The regrading was too much. I didn't make to White Top Station. |
