Swimming hole hikestravaganza! (7.6 miles, easy)

Details

Get out your quick-dry hiking gear! Time to indulge in a relaxing hike to three different swimming holes. At the end of Sugar Hollow Road in Crozet lies the North and South Fork trails of Moormans River. Both forks have their own trail and both trails lead to cool refreshing swimming holes. We will do both trails and visit Blue Hole, Snake Hole and Big Branch Falls. We'll spend some time at each one for swimming and wading or just sitting on a rock gazing at the pools while eating snax :) Optional stop for libations afterwards.
