electing favorite wonders of nature
(full disclosure) is a challenging
endeavor. Many places
in our corner of the world are exceptionally
beautiful, inspiring, intriguing
and downright awesome. After
thoughtful consideration, here are our
suggested destinations-a primer list
to launch further exploration.
Virginia
McAfee Knob. For a moderately
challenging (and very-much-worththe-effort!)
hike, journey to one of
the most visited, photographed and
famous spots on the Appalachian
Trail. Standing at 3,197 feet, this dramatic
ancient outcrop with its iconic
rock ledge has an unprecedented 270°
view. Avoid parking lot headaches
and take the weekend (Fri-Sun) shuttle
to the trailhead.
Check the civic center calendar in
nearby Salem for sports, music, festival
and performance events. Take the
family to indoor entertainment centers
and museums and outdoor parks for
horseback riding. Stop by local brewing
companies, order a calzone at Mac and
Bob's or stop by a local diner.
Then, stay the night at your favorite
hotel or book a special stay at the Inn
at Burwell Place-four guest rooms in
a 1907 downtown historic home.
4440 Catawba Valley Drive, Catawba.
