Blacksburg is a favorite college town, ranking among the best in the U.S. It's beloved for such Virginia Tech landmarks as the Drillfield, a grassy 22-acre on-campus lawn, and the Pylons, eight war memorial sculptures engraved with university values. It's also a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, thanks to nearby Appalachian Trail hikes like Dragon's Tooth, which leads to a 35-foot-tall rock spire. At the tourism office, Cheyenne Kees will tell you she has the best job in the world. This 2019 Virginia Tech grad works as a tourism program assistant and spends her days chatting up the area.
