Old Rag Mountain
We wound up on Skyline Drive for our Sunday afternoon adventure and because it was later in the day it wasn't too crowded there. The mountain was in and out of cloud shadows and I've caught it just as the shadow moved off. This is the view of Old Rag Mountain from the Drive in the Shenandoah National Park. These browns and russets are the usual fall colors here with an occasional splash of red and some yellows. Oh...and the white dot in the field left of center? That is Anita sitting out there getting the "shot" of the day!! I could have edited her out of the scene, but I think it's funny so she stayed. If you follow the line of rocks off of old rag and down, that is where you would find my house! I posted a view from my place recently (see comment box below). Old Rag is 3,284 feet high and it takes approximately 7-8 hours to hike to the summit including a mile and half long rock scramble near the top. It is such a popular east coast hike that starting Jan. 1st the park will be limiting the number of people who can go up it and you have to schedule your climb. Me, I'm content to sit on my deck and take photos of people up on the rocks with my long lens! LOL Have a blessed week everyone!
