Does anyone know what the parking situation is at mount rogers recreation area? My brother and I are starting in Damascus and my brother is ending at partnership shelter area but I'm hiking another week after that. One of our cars needs to be near partnership so anyone have any info on this? I am hoping to make it to between VA606 (Trents Grocery) and Pearisburg so a car will need to be there too. So if anyone can help with these two areas, it would be much appreciated.

Bump. I have the same question.

Planning a 175ish mile section from Huffman down to Mt. Rogers in the fall and concerned about the parking warnings on the ATC's website. NRA Headquarters would work for me assuming there aren't any smash & grabs happening there after the gates are closed. But my question is are the rest of the parking areas on the map south of Mt. Rogers and north of Damascus still at high risk for vandalism/theft?

I parked either my van of my motorcycle at Wood's Hole Hostel for the month of April. They charge $5 a day and down.

I stayed there 3 or 4 nights, eating two meals a day. They charged me $1 per day ($30total)

Can't beat that with a stick!!
