Crabtree Falls-The Priest Combo Trip (Easy to Intermediate)(Weather)

http://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/6/f/f/6/event_72748662.jpeg"Crabtree Falls is arguably the most beautiful set of waterfalls in Virginia. Billed as the tallest waterfalls east of the Mississippi, Crabtree Falls is a must see for anyone who lives in the mid-Atlantic region."

This leg is 2.2 miles one way.

"The Priest is just one mountain in this area that makes up the well named Cardinal Range; with Spy Rock, The Little Priest, The Friar, The Little Friar, and The Cardinal. Although a shorter out/back hike this can be combined with the http://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/7/1/0/4/event_72748932.jpegCrabtree Falls hike to make a longer 9.2 mile hike from the lower Crabtree Falls parking area."

(this leg is 2.4 miles for a 4.6 mile leg on day 1) I plan on just retracing my steps on Sunday.

I haven't done this trip before, so I'm assuming ( and we all know what that means!) that we can camp at or very near to the parking lot.

We all need to be prepared for winter temperatures!
