Appalachian Hiking and camping
join author & guide don defreeze
The Appalachian Mountains of Virginia are a perfect place to hike, camp, sight-see, kayak, cycle or many other outdoor adventures.
What a wonderful place to dive into the peaceful realm of wilderness solitude and ponder existence.
Whether alone, a group or family, take this opportunity to let me guide you throughout the Roanoke region. I've been exploring the area's trails and countryside for well over 30 years and have helped others experience the same for over 12. I extend my knowledge to all.
