Pocahontas State Park. 30 minutes south. $10 I believe for one car. Free if you have an REI membership or sales receipt. Great trails- co op trail is a good loop that is walking only (no mtn bikes.) Went last weekend and the trees were awesome.

Shenandoah Valley about 90 mins West of RVA if you don’t mind a drive. Just hitting peak this past week.

Outside. Typically in a park. Soon though, they'll be mostly gone in a week or two.

The mountains of Virginia are well past peak now so Skyline Drive and Blue Ridge parkway are not good now. Best color will be east of the mountains in the mid- piedmont west of Richmond. Add, past peak above 2000’ above sea level.

Blandy Expirimental farm and their Ginkgo Biloba grove. They have a Facebook and the ginkgo grove is 100% peak right now! Its 2 hours away but totally worth it if you can go in the next day or 2

We have the annual parks pass, and I did know about the REI receipt before we started buying an annual pass. Had never heard that an REI membership gets you in free...

Literally anywhere. Drive down any road and marvel at the beauty around you.

Rockwood park, in the trails.

Cross the river on the Potterfield Memorial Bridge.

Humpback Rock near Charlottesville is a good introduction hike for the Blue Ridge mountains
