“A wonderful stop along the Virginia Creeper Trail!

Old Alvarado Station is the perfect place to pause, relax, and soak in the beauty of southwest Virginia. I enjoyed an ice cream while sitting on one of the swings overlooking the South Holston River—a simple pleasure made even better by the peaceful scenery.

The riverside gazebo offers a quiet place to sit, enjoy the view, or have a picnic before continuing your ride. Whether you're cycling the Virginia Creeper Trail or simply exploring the area, this is a scenic stop that's well worth taking your time to enjoy.

I'll be sharing photos of the beautiful river views, the gazebo, and the swings that made this such a memorable break. A relaxing little gem along an already incredible trail.“
