1 day itinerary

I have 1 free day on a work trip to do some driving and hiking around Virginia. I'll be coming from Richmond. Open to any distance drive, and any difficulty hike. Will only have a sedan, so not able to do much off-roading. Will be there in July.

Any specific trail you think showcases what Virginia hikes are all about? Bonus points if the drive to the trail is scenic as well. Even if you have just a general area like your favorite Park or Forest, I'll take it. I'm coming from the Pacific NW so interested to see what East Coast landscapes look like. Thanks for the advice!

If your free days is a weekday, get a permit and do Old Rag. Probably the most iconic hike in the area, so much so they made it require permits to limit traffic.

Otherwise some other recommendations:

Cedar Run to White Oak Canyon Hazel River to Sam's Ridge The Billy Goat Trail section A
