VIRGINIA TOURISM CORPORATION
with a lush but airy texture. For health-conscious
connoisseurs, compared to traditional ice cream,
butterfat content is substantially reduced: 6 percent
vs. 10-17 percent.
KILLER FLAVORS - Expect a menu studded by more
than 50 different flavors of gelato and sorbet, with 18
available daily. For kids, the M&M Birthday Cake is
a favorite. Meanwhile, adults can try Guinness Extra
Stout, deliciously spicy Cocoa Ancho, or the summer
favorite, Papaya Pineapple.
HOW TO EARN IT - Hike the Sherando Lake Loop.
This relatively easy 2.5-mile hike will carry you through
the Sherando Lake Recreation Area around a 25-acre
lake. Toward the end, follow the steep and demanding Blue Loop Trail uphill to the Torry Ridge and an
overlook at Lookout Rock. From there, enjoy splendid
- and most likely isolated - views of the lake and
the Blue Ridge Parkway. After a bit of backtracking,
descend via the Dam Trail. For maps and more information, inquire with rangers at the park's entrance.

you back in time and, for patrons of a certain age,
probably inspire thoughts of the "Andy Griffith Show."
