This picture was just prior to peak fall colors. What a beautiful hike! It’s also one of the most crowded hikes I’ve had to deal with in central-ish Virginia. Tons of people. You’ll quickly notice there are only two bathrooms for hundreds of people, too. I appreciate the park service for even providing any but today’s population can’t seem to clean up after themselves so they get pretty disgusting after a while. At least the men’s bathroom does.
