We took advantage of a potentially rainy Saturday morning to visit Monticello. It was supposed to clear up by late morning, but the clouds didn’t break until mid-afternoon. When they did, we were able to walk around the gardens and take a few pictures of the house.
It’s a short hike up the ridge near the Rocky Knob campground on the Blue Ridge Parking to a phenomenal spot for viewing sunsets.
Buffalo Mountain is a state natural preserve in Floyd County. It’s a short two-mile round trip hike with a great overlook.
When we arrived at the summit of Pearis Mountain at the Angel’s Rest overlook, the fog was still breaking up in the valley.
The view from the second overlook was hazy but still a beautiful view of the countryside.
