Kick off a chill Saturday morning with a relaxing stroll about the Blacksburg Farmers Market. Artisans of baked goods, handmade crafts, and vendors of seasonal produce calmly line the market square with the cool mountain mist settling around.

Stiles Falls is one of the coolest waterfalls in @southwest.virginia, and you may have never heard of it!

Located at Alta Mons in Shawsville, just a short drive from Blacksburg and Christiansburg, bring your hiking shoes and get ready to explore! The 40-foot waterfall awaits at the end of a mile and a half hike with creek-crossings and rock scrambles along the way. The colorful foliage really adds to the experience this time of year.

Close to home. Far from ordinary. Make it a day-trip or stay for the weekend!
