About

​Damascus, Virginia is a small town with a BIG claim to fame: Several renowned trails intersect within our town limits, bestowing the honor of "Trail Town USA." We have some of the best outdoor recreation of the Southeast right in our backyard. There's an adventure for everyone here! The Appalachian Trail and Virginia Creeper Trail pass right through the heart of Damascus, along with the Mid-Atlantic and South East Backcountry Discovery Routes and several other long-distance hiking, cycling, and motor routes. At the edge of town, Mount Rogers National Recreation Area stretches as far as the eye can see, across the highest peaks in the state, over high-elevation mountain balds and spruce-fir forests, trout streams, and more than 500 miles of trails. Here you'll find the three highest peaks in Virginia: Mount Rogers, Whitetop Mountain, and Pine Mountain / Wilburn Ridge.
