Sharp Top Summit Filming the Peaks of Otter Lodge, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and my pal Landon who astutely mentions that we're studs. The Sharp Top Trail is 1.5 miles one way, so 3 miles round trip. It's a pretty strenous hike, especially if you're not in the best of shape (both of us). At 1:00, Flat Top. At 1:05, Bedford, VA. At 1:25, Buzzard's Roost. At 1:45, filming in the other direction. In this video, I also film most of the survey/directional markers.
