45 miles of the Appalachian Trail lie in Nelson County with moderately challenging to rugged terrain. It is accessible from Route 56 in Tyro and at trail crossings along the Blue Ridge Parkway: Reeds Gap/Route 664, and Rockfish Gap/Afton Mountain (exit 99 off Interstate 64). Take the white-blazed A.T. and get psyched for some steep climbs, ridgeline views, and steep descents. There are some nice views of Three Ridges less than a mile north of Reeds Gap on this hike.
