You’re also close to the Virginia Creeper – North Carolina and Virginia's premier mountain biking trail, which stretches 34 miles from Abingdon, down thru the lovely town of Damascus, along the Whitetop Laurel River and up to its highest point at Whitetop Station, near the NC state line. The Virginia Creeper Trail is open year round to hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding. Don’t miss this ride – a blast for the whole family, with several bike rental shops to serve you. In the High Country, gorgeous scenery awaits you at every turn. In the nearby mountain town of West Jefferson you have restaurants and terrific shopping, including antique stores and art galleries. There’s even a movie theater. This is small-town Americana at its finest. Drive a little further to Boone or Blowing Rock, for an even wider assortment of dining, entertainment and shopping options.
