BOTTOM CREEK GORGE HIKE
Oct. 2, 2008
Oct. 2, 2008
This was the first time we've gone on one of the day trips with the Town Parks and Recreation Dept and we really enjoyed the experience and the company!
Our group consisted of 11 Senior Citizens and Christine, our Tour Guide & Driver. Lunch as well as transportation was provided.
Bottom Creek Gorge is located in Montgomery County about 35-40 minutes from Roanoke. Forming the headwaters of the Roanoke River, it has the highest waterfall in VA (200 ft), and a creek that forms a stair-step series of broad-basin waterfalls known as the "kettles."
There were FOUR New Yorkers on the trip out of the 11 of us! How neat is that and what a surprise! (I wasn't the only one who "talked funny"!)
We exchanged email addresses. Richard is a New Yorker from Syracuse who lives in Roanoke with his wife, Kinuko who is from Japan.
We were all happy and tired. It had been a 3.75 mile hike and we all handled it like champs getting back to the bus two hours earlier than the time allowed for the hike! The oldest among us was a woman of 76; next oldest a man of 74. I sure hope I can still hike like this in another 11-13 years!
