Top 5 Most Overlooked Views in Virginia


1-Three Ridges.
Due to a combination of exhaustion, the decision
whether or not to take the Mau-Har trail and being overshadowed
by the Priest group this one tends to be just an 'oh yeah' for thru-hikers.

2-Tarjacket Ridge.
Another good passing view in the shadow of
the much more dramatic one from Cold Mt.

3-Cedar Cliff. By this point, northbounders are so obsessed with
getting to Waynesboro that even a lovely morning view into the
Shenandoah Valley doesn't impress.

4-Bluff Mt.
Not to be confused with the North Carolina Bluff Mt.,
the outlooks from this mountain are a nice continuation of the James
River Face.

5-Brushy Mt (north of I-77).
I know. Most of Brushy is a huge
bore, slogging on it for days on the final push to Pearisburg.
But there's a succession of views into the valley that are pretty
neat.
