>>2303543yepp, you got the the first one right, really short hike that goes straight up but worth it .
the second one is laurel falls
https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/tennessee/laurel-fallsits a super nice hike though at the end you go straight down over 300 stone steps to it
this ones is from roan mountain 2 years ago. most people who hike the AT say its the prettiest spot
I wish I could hike some of northern Virginia more but its just a little far for me to do in a weekend
I'd recommend Grayson Highlands though, its closer to you and there are little tiny wild ponies everywhere, it can be crowded in the popular seasons though
