The Channels are so cool! And, they are a 40 minute drive from the_nest_abingdon!
Making the hike to the top is incredibly rewarding:
1. You can see for miles around.
2. The Channels are cool on hot days.
3. You get really cool pictures!
4. The geology is amazing!
Once you're parked back in the Nest's off-street parking...you can go soak in the jetted soaking tub with Epsom Salts or a shower in the 4-headed walk-in shower with treetop views. Win!
And, book direct at www.curatedpropertiesllc.com and save on Airbnb's booking fees and the higher taxes due to the fees!!!
Then, take yourselves out for a nice, relaxing dinner!

At the Great Channels of Virginia, you can squeeze through a number of hidden sandstone slot canyons carved into a mountain! The Great Channels are a maze of narrow sandstone passageways formed by millions of years of erosion in the Clinch Mountain Range. To reach them, hike the Brumley Mountain Trail...a roughly 6-mile round-trip that takes you through forests and up to sweeping mountain views before dropping into the maze itself. Inside the channels, you’ll weave, crouch, and squeeze through towering rock walls that twist and turn like a natural labyrinth. It’s one of the most unusual hikes in Virginia and a rewarding adventure for those up to the challenge!
