According to locals, it has been described as the best mountain bike trail in the east. This trail is open to bikers, hikers, and horseback riders year-round. Appalachia is known for its abundance of opportunities to get outside and actively enjoy its beauty; the Virginia Creeper Trail is just one relatively popular example of this. #appalachianechoes](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6242026/df283488-1c90-464c-a13c-b57e092cdd48.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![Lots of spots like this on the way down ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6242026/0d8d8ecf-fd84-4842-a0cb-bc07118753cc.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![This image of a mural was taken in downtown Damascus, VA. It depicts a compass rose with the Appalachian Trail logo in the center with words, in a very large font, that read “Trail Town USA. Damascus prides itself for being a crossroads of more than six trails and being a gateway to the Mount Rogers Recreation Area. There is a festival that takes place in spring in this town called Trail Days where various outdoor activities take place. The Appalachian mountains is a place where thousands of hiking trails are located, and hiking is a common activity done by residents with in these mountains, so having an entire town dedicated to the activity is almost to be expected. #appalachianechoes](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6242026/5b539e5d-9756-4e29-a91d-64d593998592.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![This photo of the store Hippy Chick Recycled Art was taken in Damascus, VA. The Hippy Chick Recycled Art is a place where the owner sells artwork that has been made from recycled glass and lamps. This image captures the desire to help keep a clean environment that many residents with in Appalachia have. Also, there is this stereotype in Appalachia that if you are not a hillbilly then you must be a hippie with this tree hugger mentality. Within the image there are multiple peace signs further emphasizing the tropes associated with hippie culture. Overall the photo demonstrates that there is still a hippie mentality of peace, love, and conservation present in the Appalachian Mountains. #appalachianechoes](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6242026/e2fbfdfe-4972-41fd-b5aa-435717caa999.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![Great views of the Appalachian Mountains from the grassy fields on top of Whitetop Mountain. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6242026/3bb2e50f-ea8d-4286-968a-79d4bc0b5506.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ## Visit Damascus Things to do - Damascus Hotel Deals - Vacation Rentals in Damascus ![Damascus Old Mill Inn](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/97000000/96100000/96091700/96091634/830be4f7_y.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=340&ch=150) ### Damascus Old Mill Inn 215 W Imboden St Damascus VA Stay at this inn in Damascus.
