Early Spring in the Blue Ridge / by Dave Hileman

Along the back side of Old Rag Mountain in Central Virginia is a portion of the Shenandoah National Park that is a bit “out of the way” from most who visit here. You must make a decision to find this spot. I don’t recall the name of the stream but the beautiful lime green colors of the new foliage and the sounds of the rushing waters were a delight on this afternoon. We did not have time to hike the short distance to a waterfall, next time for sure.
