Here is your best trail map, files.meetup.com/751131/Mount Rogers Map.jpg (Just highlight and paste this link). There are many options to do and two shelters you can use, Wise Shelter and Thomas Knob. You could most easily leave you car in the park at Massie Gap. It will require you to pay a bit. From there, there are many different routes for you to take. You can also think about being dropped off at Fox Creek and walking into the park if that is a option you can take.
It should be snowing up on the mountain right now. Probably had a fair bit of ice today. The rocks might be slick. Take some spikes.
