Backcountry Horsemen of Virginia Highlands – George Washington & Jefferson National Forests
In 2021, the Backcountry Horseman of the Virginia Highlands (BCHVH) completed significant trail repair work on a 14-mile section of the Virginia Highlands Trail on the Mount Rogers National Recreation Area on the George Washington and Jefferson National Forests. This award recognizes the extraordinary initiative, logistical coordination, and field expertise of the BCHVH.
The Backcountry Horseman of the Virginia Highlands (BCHVH) have been recognized with a Southern Regional Forester’s Award for trail work along a 14-mile section of the Virginia Highlands Trail on the Mount Rogers National Recreation Area (MRNRA) of the George Washington and Jefferson National Forests.
“The BCHVH transformed what was a treacherous and muddy section of trail into the highest standard of pack and saddle treadway,” said Ed Wright, Recreation Program Manager for Mount Rogers National Recreation Area. “The extraordinary initiative, logistical coordination, and field expertise of the BCHVH and its leader, Nancy Sluys, is worthy of high commendation.”
Though locally focused, the benefit that this project delivered to forest users is difficult to overstate. Most remarkably, the group chose to match the $15,000 grant through online and event fundraising rather than labor and materials. In total the BCHVH raised $15,000 in cash and returned the entirety of that sum back to the trail project, doubling the grant’s monetary effect.
Phase 1 of this project was planned entirely by the BCHVH with consent from the MRNRA. The work to rehabilitate a heavily degraded but well-traveled section of trail was so thorough and well done that a significant deferred maintenance deficit was essentially eliminated along six miles of trail in just ten days.
“During Phase 1, which lasted from July 10th to August 10th, 2021, our group engaged 39 individual volunteers, logged 899 basic work hours, 296 skilled hours with volunteer sawyers,
131 scouting hours, and 68 administrative hours,” said Nancy Sluys, BCHVH President. “With the help of a contracted trails specialist, the BCHVH hauled and laid down 454 tons of gravel and native stone along this steeply entrenched and eroded section. Sediment that formerly clouded the small creek running parallel to the trail has all but disappeared.”
Anticipating an increase in heavy rain events associated with climate change, the BCHVH overbuilt drainage features that needed rehabilitation or replacement. The BCHVH now intend to regularly maintain this sustainable trail that they so expertly reconstructed.

Finished in 1912, the Steel Bridge is considered unique because it is one of the only known dual-lift bridges in the world. That is, the lower deck (Amtrak and freight trains) can be lifted independently of the upper deck (MAX, automobiles) to allow some clearance.

As we wandered the Mission are we past three people on their veranda, enjoy a beer a smoke and some good jazz. Veranda's were great comunity builders and we don't have enough of them anymore. I asked if we could walk on over and take some pics and they said yes and invited us for a beer.
