Made the short side hike off the Appalachian Trail during my thru-hike. Very nice.

Ponies, Yippee!
We hiked in along the AT and saw quite a few ponies. The summit is uneventful, but the AT shelter was nice along with some very nice views. One of my favorite eastern highpoints!
I went with some friends to camp near Thomas Knob. Leaving from Elk Garden later in the afternoon, we hit the summit on the way up. The skies were perfectly clear with views stretching for miles. Once the skies grew dark we watched satellites and meteors from our sleeping bags (we didn't bring any tents). The temperatures got into the lower 30s according to our thermometers. We couldn't have asked for a better day.

Fun Climb
Did it with a couple of friends. Saw ponies on the way up and on the way down. No view from the actual summit, which lies less than a mile from the AT.

One of the best fall color hikes I've ever done.

snow camping
This was my first experience of snow camping. We got hit by an unexpected storm and ended up walking around the Grayson Highlands through 6 inches of snow. A couple years later I returned to Rogers via AT section-hiking all the way from Springer.

good warmup
Did this on a south state highpoint tour before heading out west, definately a good warmup hike to stretch those winter legs for the big stuff.

Only time I've been on Mt. Rogers with good weather!
The top of Mount Rogers was still covered with snow from a recent storm. Please go to http://50summits.blogspot.com for a complete trip report.

Nice Hike
It was nice to find a highpoint in the area that didn't have a road to the top. Met lots of thru-hikers throughout the day.

Mt. Rogers
Man was it warm. I don't believe that winter will ever come this year. It was 65 degrees and sunny, even though the forecast had called for rain all weekend. I was climbing in a T-shirt for most of the way.
