Hemlocks on the Appalachian Trail

The color has yet to come back to the Blue Ridge Mountains of southwest Virginia, but I can never resist stopping here and taking a photo of these hemlocks on my way up to Wilburn Ridge.

Some nice puffy clouds and a dark blue, polarized sky made a nice backdrop for a black and white image of these iconic trees.

These beautiful hemlocks are located just outside of Grayson Highlands State Park, in Mount Rogers Recreation Area on the Appalachian Trail.
