Description

Rock Castle Gorge Loop is an 11-mile hike with about 2,500 feet of elevation gain in the rocky know recreation area, about an hour south of campus! It's a beautiful area with hopefully lots of gorgeous foliage to enjoy along the way. It is a long and strenuous hike, but we'll make sure to take lots of breaks along the way! We will also probably stop for a bit along the way to do some rock scrambling (if that's your cup of tea). AllTrails link: https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/virginia/rock-castle-gorge-loop
