Roanoke and the surrounding counties are an outdoor-lover's paradise. With over 400 miles of paved and natural surface trails, our city is perfect for biking, running, and walking. The Roanoke Greenway is a 14-mile paved path that runs directly next to CRMH as well as several outpatient clinics. The Greenway is great for working out before or after work, or even between cases. 

Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital sits at the base of Mill Mountain and is directly under the famous Mill Mountain Star. Mill Mountain also offers a 10-mile trail system that is close to the hospital. Five minutes from CRMH is the Blue Ridge Parkway, a 470-mile continuous road that passes through Roanoke and includes 1,000 miles of trails in our region. Our area also includes famous hikes such as Dragon's Tooth, McAfee Knob, Sharp Top, Tinker Cliffs, and the Virginia Triple Crown Loop.
