8 Lookouts in Virginia That You Shouldn't Miss
Virginia can make American history come alive. Visit Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello, tour Civil War battlefields, explore the living history museum at Williamsburg… the possibilities are endless (if the kids object, break up the historical sightseeing with a visit to Busch Gardens). Arlington, site of Arlington National Cemetery, is just across the Potomac River from all the major sites in D.C. In addition to beaches and historical attractions, Virginia has plenty to offer outdoor enthusiasts. Active families will love the Blue Ridge Highlands, where hiking, canoeing and tubing are just a few of the activities offered. Couples might enjoy a romantic mountain cabin in Virginia after a day of hiking in Shenandoah National Park.

If you're a hardcore hiker, skip this. If you're an occasional outdoor stroller like me, read on! 1. Although this summit is situated on the Appalachian Trail, I STRONGLY recommend that you take the parallel fire road up AND down; it is much straighter and flatter than the trail, and has far fewer rocks and roots. Here's how you find it: as you face the entrance to the main trail (across from the parking area), instead turn left and walk about 50 yards up the paved highway (Rt. 311), and you'll see a faint roadbed. There's a gate to keep out vehicle traffic that you'll have to walk around. This road and the main trail converge about a mile from the top...where the going gets very rocky and somewhat strenuous. 2. Other reviews mention the bugs at the top, but I was completely unprepared for what I encountered at the summit. I don't know if it's always like this, but I visited in late September and the bugs were swarming by the thousands at the top...and only out at the rock outcropping where you want to take pictures! They made it almost unbearable...so in case they're swarming when you go, bring some kind of bug spray. Then enjoy the spectacular views! (For what it's worth, my elapsed time with about 20 minutes of sight-seeing at the top was 3 hours & 20 minutes.) And no, there are no bathrooms!

1 mile on the left from the top of Lover Leap Mountain Route 58 2.5 miles from the bottom on the right. I always feel lucky to live here with this great view unless foggy then you would never know this was here.

Beautiful overlook, short steep trail. Take your time, read the interesting signposts about trees and other vegetation. Take in the beautiful views.
