“One of my favorite things about Virginia summits is I love going up there and being able to stare out, getting lost in the views. Virginia has so many beautiful views – Appalachian Mountain, Shenandoah Mountains, Blue Ridge Mountains – we’ve got them all and being able to look out at the mountains, out at the farmlands, it’s just amazing.” – Erin Gifford, Go Hike Virginia
