My Venturing Crew (Co-Ed Boy Scouts) might be joining me for a couple of sections during some part of the first half of the trail.
Which sections did you find you enjoyed the most? I want to challenge them and show them fantastic views, but I don’t want to scare them off backpacking by taking them up one of the brutal climbs.

The lost creek wilderness to Kenosha Pass is a great hike. Wonderful views and easy to be dropped off at one end and picked up at the other.

I enjoyed hiking along the Virginia Creeper Trail and eventually heading up Mt. Rogers (there’s a side trail to the top)and then into the Highland Grayson area with the wild ponies. The hike up Mt. Rogers might be a little stenuous but if your group takes it slow they should be ok.

Bet my crew would have loved seeing the wild ponies…they’ll have to make due with sheep and cowboys.
