Some stunning photos of fall from the High Bridge Trail in western VA

These are some pictures I took of the autumn colors while I was biking on the High Bridge Trail in Virginia. The High Bridge Trail is a trail in western Virginia that used to be a railway.The entire trail is about 39 miles long, but the best part is only about 9 miles away from the town of Farmville. The best part of the 39 mile long trail is a quarter-mile long trestle bridge over the Appomattox River. At its highest point, the bridge is 120 feet high. During the Civil War, Gen. Lee's retreating troops decided to burn the old bridge to stop the Union troops from crossing.
