Description
Meet at Squires lot at 2 and then get to the Appalachian Trail parking at Whitetop by 4 pm. I will give an overview in the parking lot before we start. We will hike 2.5 miles total and it should take us around 1.5 hrs. We may be returning in the dark, so headlamps or flashlights should be brought along. This hike is very easy.
Location
Buzzard Rock is on the west side of White top Mt, the second tallest peak in Virginia.
Driving Directions
The parking lot for the Appalachian Trail at Whitetop can easily be found in the map apps and is 2 hrs from Blacksburg.
What You Should Bring
Wear closed-toed sneakers that you feel comfortable walking in. Bring enough water (around 1L). I highly recommend trekking poles since they make walking easier. You should also bring a headlamp since we may be returning in the dark. NO JEANS, NO OPEN TOED SHOES, NO SPEAKERS.
Pet Instructions/Info
Put 'em on a leash please.
