I never think to take an Amtrak train. I will have to keep that on my radar going forward because I love traveling by train! We love hiking so a hike up Mill Mountain would definitely be something we’d be interested in, and craft breweries are always a plus too! Sounds like a really great trip overall!

Love the wilderness and open spaces in these areas. I understand why people from bigger cities flock these areas. No matter how many parks you build inside a big city, you will never get the warmth and pleasure of a real jungle or even a real village out there.

The mystery of Roanoke has intrigued me for quite some time now but it seems that the present day Roanoke is full with so many fun things to do, see, and eat! I would love to get my hands on a bottle of that barrel aged beer from Deschutes for my boyfriend’s Christmas present!

Scott and I are planning some Virginia trips in 2018 since we’re just one state over, so I’ll definitely reference this post when we do!

I’ve only ridden trains in the US a few times – Amtrak from Berkeley to Sacramento about a half a dozen times, and it was a wonderful experience!

So I’ve just added this onto my list for my eventual USA trip – Sometimes train trips like this is what makes the trip complete 😀 – I’m glad you mentioned the craft breweries to visit in Roanoke, that is definitely a must do haha.

I love taking Amtrak. I find it so much civilized and comfortable than flying. Roanoke sounds like a great destination!

I wish I lived on the East Coast sometimes so I could take advantage of all the places Amtrak goes! I haven’t heard of Roanoke, but actually have friends in Alexandria so will have to check that out next time I visit.

Looks like a good holiday spot. The hikes are doable and interesting.
The info on the eateries is helpful.
