A bike trail challenging to both beginners and experts.
Some friends had told us about the trail a couple of years ago. We had a great time, rented a bike and shuttle service to the top of the trail. The part from White Top down to Damascus is pretty much all down hill and is pretty easy, even if you haven’t ridden in a while. There are several places to stop along the way and the scenery is great.

My husband and I went to the Moonlight Drive In to see the Barter production of A Christmas Carol. They play was great and the workers have gone above and beyond to keep everyone safe from COVID. There’s even someone sanitizing the port a potty after every user. The radio station provided great sound and the oh screen was helpful too since we were a little farther back.

This scenic rail to trail park extends for about 34 miles from Damascus, Va to Abingdon. I walked for about an hour and a half and really liked it. There seemed to be a lot of trees along the trail. I'm guessing this would be a great place for a summer hike or bike ride if you like well shaded trails.

In everything we do, our mission is to bring relief, relaxation, wellness and rejuvenation to our clients. We provide a sanctuary from stress, a healing touch, a kind work, and a place to reconnect the mind, body, and spirit.
The Love Spell February Special was a perfect way to spend the afternoon at Salt of the Earth. The CDB massage with Kai was fabulous and the red light therapy was amazing. After so many gloomy days in February it was a great way to bring energy for the rest of the month! Jill and her staff are super professional and kind. The social distancing protocol was on point and made me feel comfortable in every way. Thank you!

We are in Abingdon again to attend a performance at the Barter Theater. Our visit isnt’ complete without a stop Saturday morning to the Farmers Market. There is a woman at the very end of the market tables that sells fantastic beets! I mean one jar is a great lunch! And the bake goods for sale at the table towards the entrance are amazing. My favorite is the orange and apricot scones. They are fabulous. There’s a vendor near the entrance that sells individual pies... the cherry is the best! There are a few soap vendors too, lots of truly organic vegetables, fresh lettuce grown at the Harvest Table Farm, and fresh pressed juice from White Birch Restaurant. There is one of our favorite farmers markets!

Come for a tasting and a picnic on our beautiful riverfront property! Kids, dogs and kayaks welcome!
A beautiful fall afternoon can only be enhanced by reflective rolling water, interesting friends, and great wine. The water and the wine can be had at Abingdon Vineyard. You buy your wine and snacks inside and move outdoors to one of the picnic tables on the recently cleared river bank. This setting lends itself to good times. Now, if I can only find my way back....

Chose to rent in Abingdon, and took the shuttle to top of Whitetop and did the entire 34 mile ride. So glad we did! Made a reservation for 6 people for the 8:30 Shuttle. I recommend that early shuttle if you are doing the entire ride. Every bike we rented was in perfect shape. They were professional yet made you feel like family. Prices were great too. Highly recommend paying a few dollars more to get the "comfort" seat. Well worth it. I would use these folks again for one of the most wonderful rides of my life.
