Welcome to the internet's most comprehensive
website on the Virginia Creeper Trail. The Virginia Creeper Trail
is considered to be the best rail-trail in the east, and among
the best in the United States.
This
non-profit informational site has been created by local residents
who live in or near Damascus, Virginia, and by others
from around the country who love this 34-mile trail which winds
down through the Blue Ridge mountains from Whitetop to Abingdon,
Virginia.

a local student, looks down on Green Cove from a viewpoint on the Creeper
Trail.
This photo was taken October 17, and the trees above 3,000 feet have
lost almost all their leaves. Lower elevations still have lots of
color.
(This is a personal note to Cade, serving with the Marines in Afghanistan:
This photo is for you. Semper Fi.)
The trail is open from Abingdon to Damascus.
