Thanks to Smell 'n Roses for his video which tipped me off to the Terrapin Mountain Trail. This ~10 mile loop is located in Jefferson National Forest, Virginia west of Lynchburg. The mountain stands east of the Blue Ridge Mountain Crest and has great views of the FAA Radome on Apple Orchard Mountain, the James River Face Wilderness, and the Peaks of Otter. The climb to the top is steep but there are multiple spots with good views. The second half of the hike follows Reed Creek before returning on a long forest road. It may seem like a drag but it is level, and there is a surprise waterfall right beside the trail.

Apologies if the video is shakier than usual. I just got a replacement phone and forgot to turn on the video stabilizer setting.
