Get ready to be dazzled by the night sky this June! The month kicks off with the final full moon of spring, affectionately called the Strawberry Moon, rising on the evening of June 10-11. 🍓🌕 🍓🌕🍓Then, get set to welcome the official start of astronomical summer on June 20 with the summer solstice! ☀️
To make the most of these celestial celebrations, local businesses are rolling out the red carpet for stargazers, offering exciting specials, packages, and events that support the preservation of our precious Dark Skies. So gather your ride or die and plan your stargazing adventure! To explore the fantastic dark skies packages available, hop over to nelsoncounty.com ✨✨✨ #darkskiesnelson #fullmoon #summersolstice #astrotourism

National Trails Day is Saturday June 7 🥳 Hikers can follow the Appalachian Trail along the western portion of the county, climb a short, but steep hike to incredible valley views at Humpback Rock, and explore the Blue Ridge Parkway hikes including White Rock Falls and the Mau-Har Trail.
Visit the popular Crabtree Falls and find 360 degree views at Spy Rock. Explore the Blue Ridge Tunnel and learn about the history of the railway that goes back to 1850!
@nature_foundation at Wintergreen trails can be explored at Wintergreen Resort, and down in the valley is the Rockfish Valley Trail System with many nature-themed trails. Along Route 29, hike the Fortune’s Cove Nature Preserve with moderate to difficult trails through relatively intact forest.
For hiking or biking, there’s the Virginia Blue Ridge Railway Trail in Piney River, with its Kids in the Parks Trail for kids. Visit nelsoncounty.com to plan your trip 🥾🥾🥾 #takeahike #getoutside
