Description
This trip will take place over fall break (10/11 - 10/13) with us meeting up on Friday morning and returning late on Sunday. The loop is 26.1 miles long (according to AllTrails) and has just over 7,400 ft of elevation gain while hitting major Shenandoah peaks like Hawksbill Mountain, Stony Man Mountain, and finally the famous Old Rag Mountain! A more detailed itinerary will be sent out later on to members who sign up for the trip. Here is the AllTrails link: https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/virginia/shenandoah-national-park-loop
