For a moment, The Pupsicle was the highest dog in Virginia.
Every now and then we like to take what we consider grand-adventure hikes, a hike that takes all day and covers some magnificent ground. The hike to Mt Rogers was one of our favorites. For us, the hike started in Grayson Highlands State Park and ended up being around 9 miles. The hike is quite popular so I’d recommend arriving early.

The hike crossed the Appalachian Trail before heading through the forest and up to the summit.
Along this hike we got to meet several characters, both two-legged and four-legged. I think the vistas we enjoyed along then way made this a truly epic hike and I’d recommend it for adventurous folks and pups that are experienced hikers and in pretty good shape. Here’s a link to the All Trails page.
