Local Area Hiking with Picnic Lunches

At the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, a world of natural beauty awaits just beyond The Inn. Guests can explore some of the region’s finest hiking, from leisurely forested trails to dramatic summit climbs with sweeping views across the mountains. Whether you are seeking a peaceful walk beneath the trees or a more invigorating day on the trail, the surrounding landscape offers an unforgettable way to unwind and reconnect with the natural world.

For a gentle introduction, Limberlost Trail offers an easy 1.3-mile circuit with very little elevation change, ideal for beginners or those preferring a more relaxed pace. Stony Man Trail is another favorite, pairing an accessible round-trip hike with a rewarding summit vista. Guests in search of a moderate challenge will find Mary’s Rock especially worthwhile, with its stunning panoramic views from the top. For seasoned hikers, Old Rag Mountain is a legendary destination, celebrated for its thrilling rock scrambles and spectacular 360-degree scenery.

Our concierge team is always pleased to recommend a trail suited to your interests and experience level. For a particularly memorable outing, we also offer backpacks prepared with picnic lunches to accompany your adventure.
