Light at the End of the Tunnel

Just off the Blue Ridge Parkway is Craggy Gardens, a mountain ridge covered with a natural garden of rhododendron. A hike along Craggy Pinnacle Trail takes you through thickets of these shrubs which arch over the path to form a natural tunnel. At the end of the tunnel is a dramatic 360 degree view over the surrounding mountains.... kind of like heaven.

    A remarkable image, Doug! The blurred backdrop and your explanatory words pleasantly stir my imagination. The tree framing is perfect here.
