Virginia Fall

This weekend my roommate and I took a drive up to the Shenandoah National Park for a hike. We have been told numerous times that fall in this area of the country is absolutely gorgeous and that it is not a window to be missed. For me, it seems a bit weird that it is fall but still 25 degrees outside... but in any event, the colours are starting to change and it was awesome to take a stroll though the woods!

Here are a couple of pictures that exemplify the region:

The last picture posted above is of the Appalachian Trail (the famous trail that runs 2175 miles north south through the eastern mountain ranges). This trail is blazed by the white mark on the tree to the right--I can now say that I have hiked on this trail (although it was only for about 1 mile aha)!

Well, off to study!
