ASTA Trail Days - The Trails of Olde Beau in Roaring Gap

Join ASTA for a Trail Days Hike
Description: Come join us for a challenging hike on the trails of the Olde Beau development in the Roaring Gap area of Alleghany County! Olde Beau has six trails in the development that combine for a six-mile loop trail. The trails offer everything from walks through wooded forests, along streams with waterfalls, beautiful vista views, and open fields to peaceful lakes. There are also many paths along the golf course offering views of various holes. There are points along the trail to shorten the hike for those that want a shorter hike.

Difficulty: This is considered a challenging hike due to the distance and elevation gain. The pace will be approximately 2 to 2-1/2 MPH but will be adjusted to all opportunities for enjoying the hike and photos. The distance is around 6 miles and the elevation gain is around 925. There will also be points along the trail for you to shorten the hike.
