Come join us for our second event in RVA! We'll be much closer to the downtown core of RVA this time around and will be hiking a 6.1 mile loop hike with almost 500 feet in elevation gain.
Other than occasional crossings this is a single track trail that we have to share with mountain bikers, so we will be keeping the group small at 12 people.
This is rated "moderate" but personally think it's on the easier side of moderate.
