We've been to the Roanoke Star a time or two, but never via the Star Trail. After tackling the short hike at Roaring Run, we decided to make the not-quite-an-hour drive to Roanoke to do the Star Trail too. At ~3.3 miles out and back, it was a mostly steady (but nothing too steep) uphill on the way to the star and thus a steady downhill back. The trail isn't much to write home about, but it's nice to have some protected woods in the middle of the city. And the view of Roanoke from the star is pretty neat.
