Cove Mountain/Buchanan Trail/Horse Trail Loop
7.5 miles, strenuous terrain
22 miles from Roanoke, $2.00 carpool fee
This hike will start at an A.T. crossing on the Blue
Ridge Parkway a few miles north of Roanoke. The trail parallels the Parkway and
has some good views. We will pass Bobletts Gap shelter along the way.
This hike will begin just off SR 622 at Arcadia on the Cove Mountain Trail (this is not the
Little Cove Mountain Trail). It offers views of distant mountains at various
places. The hike will return to the starting point on the same Cove Mountain
Trail.
