Here's a shot from the Alpine meadow above Sky Meadows State Park [www.dcr.virginia.gov], about 45 beautiful minutes from home, along Rt. 50. I took the kids there for a hike this afternoon. The hike was about 3-4 miles, South Ridge Trail to North Ridge Trail, and overlooking some beautiful Virginia scenery. The facilities are nice and they even have a little gift shop for the requisite sticker.

Downside? 98F. Summer, oy.
