Robertson Mountain Circuit Hike-CANCELLED

Trying to keep away the winter blahs? We’ve got a hike to get your heart and lungs pumping. This very strenuous hike features one of the steepest climbs in central Shenandoah National Park. The first half of the hike up Robertson Mountain will be very strenuous, with roughly 1700 feet of elevation gain in just over 1.5 miles; however, you'll be rewarded with great views of the Blue Ridge and the Piedmont and the popular Old Rag Mountain.

On the return leg of our hike, we’ll follow the Corbin Hollow Trail as we descend and we will encounter two potentially interesting stream crossings of Brokenback Run.

The total length of this circuit hike will be 9 miles with around 2400 feet of elevation gain.

Bring plenty of water, snacks, lunch, bug spray, sunscreen, sturdy footwear, and about $25 for transportation and trip fees. ($5 Adventuring trip fee, $12 for mileage reimbursement, and a shared portion of the $30/car SNP admission fee. We can usually cover the Park’s admission fee with those hikers who hold annual park passes.)

We will make our usual pit stop at a Sheetz to stock up on lunch and/or snacks before arriving at the Park. There may also be an optional dinner stop on the way home at the decision of the participants.

We'll carpool at 8:30 a.m. from the Kiss & Ride Lot of the East Falls Church Metro Station.
