The Wytheville (VA) Enterprise carries an article by staff writer Mary Beth Jackson, dated 8 January 2007, and titled "Giles County a Destination." It is indeed, especially for AT hikers headed north through Virginia. The county seat is Pearisburg, a mile or so off the Trail.
Describing some of the shopping and recreation opportunities in the county, Jackson does admit that "the crowning glories of Giles County are its natural wonders. The Appalachian Trail winds through Giles."
If you're hiking through southwest Virginia, you might first want to check some of the links to relevant websites provided in the article.
