  • I was able to sneak in a day hike at Sharp Top Mountain in Virginia on one of my families recent vacations while visiting friends in Lynchburg. Weather started good but changed quickly…it got cold with mid 40’s, heavy rain, and strong winds to the point where some of the group turned around. However, myself and my friend Leonard pushed on to the peak enjoying some Type 2 fun. Unfortunately due to the change in weather I’m unable to share any of the great views from the peak but still an overall fun trip. Sometimes you have to embrace these weather challenges...though you won't see any big views on this trip you'll still see that I always had a smile on my face. Pushing yourself can bring a different kind of joy.
    The Sharp Top trail is a 1.5 mile trail up and 1.5 mile back totaling 3 miles. And normally a beautiful place to visit with a shelter at the top.
    Ascent: 1300'
    Elevation 3875'

    Thanks for showing me a hike in Virginia that wasn't on my radar until I saw this. As much hiking as I've done in VA, I don't think I've ever stopped in at Lynchburg, I'll have to fix that 🤣
