The second most strenuous hike on my recent trip was the Roanoke Mountain Loop, which once could be driven up (indeed, I drove up to the top in 2010, as it is part of the Blue Ridge Parkway) but has been closed since 2018 due to mudslide according to multiple accounts. I looked for evidence of a slide but found none. 2 miles up and 2 miles back down the mountain was a good workout with some awesome views of the Roanoke area. Following are the pictures from this hike; to see all the hikes from my most recent trip, go here.
I often zoom in and out while shooting to get larger or wider shots, so enjoy!
Makes me wonder if the state parks just doesn't want to maintain the road? Just claim there is a mudslide.
