Hey Petra you are so right. And I am very happy to highlight a trail such as this for people who are in wheelchairs, who have strollers or just can't walk as far so they know they have a place to go and experience great mountain views as well. The outdoors is for everyone. ~RVA~

This time of the year everything is for sure lush and green. In the fall, the amazing colors come out and then everything is pretty much brown except for the evergreen trees until spring. I love all the shades of green out there. Thanks for stopping by and watching. I have 160+ other videos on my channel if you ever get bored. LOL! ~RVA~

Yes, one of my viewers just made me realize that the short trails are just as important to highlight as the long ones. Some people are looking for short trails just like this for little kids, wheelchair accessibility, time constraints, etc. It really opened my eyes this morning. Thanks, Kaat for checking out this short but sweet one. ~RVA~

Ahhh thank you for the positive feedback on that! I accidentally deleted my old intro. I get tired of the same intro over and over when I watch other KZbin videos as a viewer myself. So I decided to change up the intro every time as to not bore my amazing viewers. And it gives new viewers a quick look into what I do other there. Thank you for telling me! ~RVA~

I saw one of your videos about safety and tips and I found it very helpful. My question is the brand name of your inflatable matress and if you ever had a bad encounter with a bear and what you did do. Thank you for sharing all the beauty and info.
@RVAHikerGirl
@RVAHikerGirl 2 жыл бұрын
Hiya Kathy. Thank you for watching my videos. The self-inflating mattress that I take car camping is from UST Gear. It's called the Fillomatic. For backpacking, I use the Big Agnes Core mattress which is lighter weight. I have encountered black bear and you just make a lot of noise and gauge the bears actions. If you just see a cub, momma isn't far away and you just make your presence known, so you don't sneak up on mom. You keep your distance and watch safely. You can slowly back away but never run. Hope that helps. ~RVA~

It looks like the forest road continues on to other trails,. I'll have to hit that and make it a weekend. Maybe head back to Strickler Knob from that direction. Does it look like there is good overnight parking at the trailhead?
@RVAHikerGirl
@RVAHikerGirl 2 жыл бұрын
About 10 cars will fit in that parking lot. You could easily park there overnight. There is nothing around. The road continues to some sort of camp I remember seeing on the sign. There are several side trails before the overlook. I didn't go on those. Just on the one to the right of the overlook and then continued on when it ended further. Hope you enjoy this little short and sweet trail. ~RVA~
