Hikers from both the PATC's Charlottesville Chapter and Southern Shenandoah Valley Chapter who are working to complete the entire Virginia AT hiked a portion of the AT near Blacksburg on a nice Saturday afternoon in March. There were two groups: a northbound group led by Margaret Helber, and a southbound group led by Jeff Monroe. The groups met on Sinking Creek Mountain and exchanged vehicle keys so everyone could meet up again in Christiansburg after the hikes.
The highlight of this section was the Keffer Oak, the second largest oak tree on the AT. And this tree is literally right on the AT.
