**❄️ Winter Singles Hike: Humpback Rocks Direct Route (Blue Ridge Parkway, VA) ❄️**
Craving crisp mountain air, big views, and a chance to meet other active singles? Join us for a rewarding off-season hike up Humpback Rocks – short, steep, and one of the best quick payoffs on the entire Parkway!
**Meet-up spot:** Humpback Rocks parking area (Milepost 5.8, just south of the Visitor Center on the Blue Ridge Parkway)
**The Hike (Short Direct Route – NOT the longer loop):**

* Distance: 2 miles round trip (1 mile up, 1 mile back)
* Elevation gain: \~800 feet
* Trail type: Out-and-back, steep and rocky
* Estimated time: 1.5–2.5 hours including summit hangout
* Difficulty: Moderate–Strenuous (steep climb with rocky sections and a little easy scrambling near the top)

We’ll go at a relaxed, social pace with plenty of breaks to chat, snap photos, and take in the sweeping winter vistas of the Shenandoah Valley and surrounding ridges.
**Who this is for:** Singles 20s–40s (or young at heart) who enjoy the outdoors and want to meet new people in a fun, low-pressure setting.
**What to bring – dress for winter mountain weather (always colder & windier at the top):**

* Sturdy hiking boots/shoes with good grip
* Warm layers (base layer, fleece or puffy, windproof jacket)
* Hat, gloves, neck gaiter
* Extra layer in your pack just in case
* Water + snacks
* Trekking poles if you like them
* Small daypack

Dogs welcome if leashed and friendly.
Spaces limited. RSVP soon – see you on the rocks! 🏔️❤️
