One of my favorite spots in the world, Whitetop Mountain, VA. The day we first hiked hiked there, we met a group of self described “old hippies” having a picnic. They invited us to join in. Back in the late 30’s, this was the site of a music festival featuring the Carter family among others.

A scenic landscape featuring a range of snow-capped mountains beneath a bright blue sky with wispy clouds. In the foreground, there is a lush, green field of low shrubs and grasses, stretching towards the distant mountains. A thin line of trees is visible at the base of the mountains, separating the field from the peaks beyond.
