    Year-Round Outdoor Recreation Adventures

    Colorful wildflowers and vibrant foliage. Meandering rivers and majestic rocks. Warm breezes and crisp mountain air with crackling campfires. And crystal clear skies for stargazing. Adventure is elemental in Rockbridge County, a rugged playground in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains beloved by hikers, cyclists, kayakers, and a few secretive fly fishermen.

Meet The Explorers

Lexington, Buena Vista, and Rockbridge County beckon outdoor enthusiasts, entrepreneurs, and professionals to get outside and play in our rugged back yard. Our explorers have a wealth of local information and experience to share with visitors and conservation organizations. Lexington and Rockbridge Area Tourism is privileged to have these "explorers" as contributors to our website and outdoor recreation initiatives.
