Last year was my first time at Trail Days and I had a fantastic time. I was able to experience a lot that Trail Days had to offer last year but am looking for some scenic places to go this year. This is my girlfriend's first time going and she is new to hiking. I know we will definitely ride the Virginia Creeper Trail and go to Grayson Highlands one day. I'm looking for additional options (great vistas, waterfalls, something unique). I have considered Mount Rogers, Laurel Fork Falls, Lake Watauga, and Roan High Knob. Let me know if you have any additional ideas as far as places to day hike, things to do, places to eat, etc.
Thanks again for your help!
