The Roads to Damascus (1514 words)
We remain in the bar with the hikers to hear tales of the trail: giant rattlesnakes almost stepped on, bear cubs in trees, a wild-eyed, jittery wanderer searching for a legendary lost cave that opens into the netherworld.

TRAIL ACTIVITIES : For an easy downhill ride on the Virginia Creeper Trail (http://www.vacreepertrail.us) from Whitetop Station to Damascus, there are numerous bicycle rental and shuttle services.
