6 hikers, Barbara Martin, Andre Meyer, Dave Eldtman, Nancy Hanley, Margaret Helber and John Brandt enjoyed a gorgeous fall day with incredible viewpoints on November 2. We started out driving through fog on the way to James River Foot Bridge, but miraculously just as we arrived at the parking lot, the skies cleared and we hiked under gorgeous, clear blue skies. This was an out and back hike heading north on the AT, which started with a stroll along the lovely Rock Row Run. After a couple of miles we began the climb to Fuller Rocks. The view of the James River and surrounding mountains was so appealing we decided to have our lunch, complete with leftover Halloween candy from hike leader, Barbara Martin. The decision was made after lunch to hike another 1.3 miles further north on the AT to a promised view above cliffs. This added another 600 feet in elevation, but all agreed it was worth the climb with an even more expansive view than the one at Fuller Rocks. We all headed back, feeling sated and grateful.
