What a great 6-Hour hike!
It had been a long time since I went hiking and I was getting cabin fever... so I asked a few of my friends if they wanted to go hiking... and we did it! Woohoo!
The Priest is the highest mountain in Virginia on the Appalachian Trail. Just over 4000ft. The parking lot is at 1200ft.. so it was quite a climb! It's 4 miles each direction.. and as you can see in the pictures there were NO foliage on the trees.. .we could see for MILES in every direction. It is said, and I believe them now.. that any other time of year, you can only see OUT from a couple overlooks... the rest of the hike is in shadowy rocky steep trails.
It was great!
Thanks Dave, Don, Tom and Kevin for a great hike in the Virginia Wilderness!!
We are gunna have to do this again!
(Once each season!!!)
Here is the track if you wanna check it out.

Awesome trip...looking forward to seeing the rest of the photos you shot Mike! It would be great to see this mountatin in the Spring, Summer and Fall.
Yes it was awesome! now let's find some other mountains to conquer around here! Woohoo! And we can go back and climb The Priest again in the fall!!
Great pictures! Know you enjoyed the hike and "us ladies" enjoyed our "catch up" weekend! I'm also very glad you're back to blogging. Facebook leaves a little bit, actually a whole lot, to be desired...I'm seriously considering dropping out of fb...I don't do much on there anyway. Mary (aka Mom)
