Hiking & Biking

The Huckleberry Trail connects the towns of Blacksburg and Christiansburg and is part of the nation’s rail-to-trail system, making the 14-mile trek perfect for outdoor enthusiasts of all ages and abilities, whether walking, running or cycling.

The Jefferson National Forest offers 2,000 miles of hiking, mountain biking, and horseback-riding trails. Set among neo-tropical migratory birds in the summer and a kaleidoscopic palette of color during the crisp fall, it lends to discovering some of the most breathtaking scenery in the region.

The Poverty Creek Trail area, also located in Jefferson National Forest, is a paradise for mountain-bikers. Claimed as some of the best mountain biking trails on the East Coast, mountain bikers can kick up mud over 19 trails and more than 30 miles of terrain.

If you’d prefer something more leisurely, the loop around Pandapas Pond features gently rolling slopes across a one-mile wheelchair-accessible trail. The loop is perfect for running, fishing, walking, or just enjoying a picnic at the Pond’s day area.

TransAmerica Trail is over 4,000 miles long and passes right through Christiansburg! Cycle your way through part of the TransAmerica Trail, Route 76. Ride on through rolling hills while ascending
and descending among the mountains.

Everyone is entitled to a bad day, a bad mood, or a ride on the struggle bus. As complex, emotional creatures, it is literally impossible to NOT have a bad day once in a while. However, what we are not allowed to do is punish those around us for our bad moods.  Which I think I did today … to the one who was so lucky to win me 15 years ago. 🤦🏽‍♀️ sigh . 

But can we normalize that too? Please 🙄

Message from Paul, transcribed by his mom:

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything, but my dad‘s death in November really hit us hard.  Normally, when I’m down, Hokie sports will cheer me up. This hasn’t been the case until now. 

The women’s basketball team has been a spark to my spirit. I am so proud of them. They believed in themselves and no one else did. They are a team, in every sense of the word, and represent the best of Virginia Tech. 

Let’s cage those LSU Tigers. Go, Hokies! 🧡🦃🏀

Hokiesnow- I have loved seeing Paul’s story and really wanted to share it on here.
