Rhododendrons on Tanawha Trail
The Tanawha Trail paralells the Blue Ridge Parkway in the vicinity of Linn Cove Viaduct. Its full length is about 13 miles but due rain, our hike was shortened to about 9 miles.
It was difficult to evaluate the trail fully, as the rain and mist blocked views and curtailed exploring. However, it did pass through a few gorgeous areas of large boulders and rock formations as well as a rhododendron bald.
