We started our day walking around the lake at Peaks of Otter, enjoying the views of the mountains in the early morning light. Sharp Top mountain was originally thought to be the tallest mountain in Virginia at 3900' but later it was discovered that Mount Rogers was higher at close to 5000'.
After breakfast we set off to climb Sharp Top. Several hours of strenuous walking later, including scrambling over a few fallen trees we reached the top. The views were stunning, especially the one looking down on the lodge.
Returning we retired to the on site cafe for hot chocolate and tea, before enjoying the sun setting over the lake.
