Crusher Ridge Out-and-Back

If the short hike to help Mary H across the finish line of her Shenandoah 500 Mile Club journey isn't enough to motivate you, then come out and do this 6.5 mile, 1,900' elevation gain hike first!

Starting at the Little Stony Man parking on Skyline Drive, we'll follow the Appalachian Trail northbound, then descend the Crusher Ridge trail to the park boundary. We'll pause there for a snack before turning around and climbing back up to the A.T. After completing this hike, I plan to drive the short distance to the Limberlost Trail and join Mary H for her short (1.3 miles) completion hike. Then we'll head to the Skyland Taproom to toast her membership in the Shenandoah 500 Mile Club.

Our average pace when moving will be between 2 to 2.5 miles per hour.

Dogs are allowed on this hike, however they are prohibited on the Limberlost Trail. If you wish to bring your dog, please send me a direct message.
