You'll be ready for a weekend getaway to Virginia's Blue Ridge, thanks to a recent story in Austin's EASTside Magazine.
The "A Weekend in Roanoke - Blue Skies & Breweries" piece was written by Jennifer Simonson, who visited the region in May 2017 as part of a media tour hosted by Visit Virginia's Blue Ridge.
EASTside Magazine is a lifestyle and entertainment publication that primarily focuses on the east side region of Austin, Texas.
Readers of the article will learn about the great ways to spend a weekend in Virginia's Blue Ridge, including experiencing the outdoors and visiting various craft breweries.
The following is an excerpt from the story:
"McAfee Knob is one of the most photographed spots along the trail because of its breathtaking 270-degree panoramic view of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the surrounding valley. It’s a steady climb of 1,700 feet over the nine-mile loop, but don’t complain too loudly. You will likely be surrounded by a hiker or two who has been on the trail for weeks, possibly months. Because of its popularity, it is best to do this hike on Friday before the weekend rush."
