Highpoint #19 VA Mount Rogers 5,739 ft. Rank #19

Mount Rogers is our favorite highpoint to date. The weather was cool, but sunny. We hiked most of the way up surrounded by ponies on the mountain. With the exception of one of the ponies grabbing Mary Ruth's jeans with its teeth the trip was safe. The views up and back during our 8.6 mile hike in 3-4 inches of snow were amazing. After not being able to find the usgs marker in Kentucky I was determined to find it at the top, and after 15 minutes of snow clearing we found it. I think Arkansas is next when we visit mom in February.
