SPECIAL ARTICLES THE HIGH UP AND THE LOW DOWN OF THE APPALACHIAN TRAIL IN CENTRAL VIRGINIA By Alfred Percy [Editor's note: Alfred Percy, President of the Natural Bridge Appalachian Trail Club, is known for his research into the early history of Virginia mountains. This article is an announcement of the progress made in one of the major problems of The Appalachian Trail Conference. Just as occurred in the Shenandoah National Park, the extension southward of the Blue Ridge Parkway necessitated major Trail relocations. The Blue Ridge Parkway follows literally the old Appalachian Trail route along the crest of the divide between the waters flowing east and those flowing into the Shenandoah Valley. The new Trail route, which has been described in various articles, is far to the cast and opens up a magnificent hiking terrain. It follows a series of conical 4,000-foot outlying peaks. Arrangements were made, at the time of the Blue Ridge Parkway construction, for the rebuilding of the Trail by the United States Forest Service and the National Park Service. Mr. Percy's article indicates the extent to which the Services have met their commitments in the way of making relocations and the unusual terrain that the new route is opening up. Further, a chain of lean-tos has been projected whieh will be continuous with the 34 lean-to chain to the north in the terrain of the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club and the Mountain Club of Maryland. The major unfinished link, as Mr. Percy indicates, is across the deep valley of the Tye River between The Priest and Three Ridges. The Trail route now drawing near completion offers new terrain and opportunities of an outstanding order. There is only one crossing of the Parkway and its interference is negligible. The new route promises to be quite superior. Appalachian Trail Conference Chairman Myron H. Avery, who has remeasured for Guide to Paths in the Blue Ridge some 70 miles of reconstructed Trail, at a recent meeting in southern Virginia, termed the accomplishment of the Natural Bridge Appalachian Trail Club in reopening and remarking the route a feat of extraordinary character and a high light in Appalachian Trail history. The Potomac Appalachian Trail Club welcomes this opportunity to publicize the accomplishments of our neighbor to the south.] The Appalachian Trail along the Central Virginia Blue Ridge has, for the most part, been entirely relocated between Rockfish Gap at the southern end of the Shenandoah National Park and Black Horse Gap near Roanoke. The Natural Bridge Appalachian Trail Club, with headquarters in Lynchburg, has charge of this section. In reality the Blue Ridge Parkway, by taking over a good bit of the old Appalachian Trail, kicked us upstairs to the higher mountains. Having thus been forced into an energetic role, we felt we might as well suggest other improvements that would give hikers the advantage of an added variety of beauty. The effect of these changes has been to provide additional views of the James River, which naturally divides our section, and to acquaint people more intimately with the charm of our mountain streams. Now for a few scenes from our heights and along our depths. In the northern section the scenery really begins on Humpback Mountain

This 1946 bulletin by the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club includes (pages 104-108) a 1910 letter to Horace Kephart from A.A.
