Fraternal twin hikes! (Mary's Rock + Hazel Falls)

Fraternal twins: they originate from the same place but look very different from each other! Double the fun by conquering two spellbinding trails in Shenandoah National Park that begin at Meadow Spring parking area (MP 33.5). Mary's Rock is an extremely popular summit hike and Hazel Falls will lead us to a lovely waterfall where we can cool off. Both are shorter trails but have a decent level of elevation. Starting early in the hopes we can beat a little of the summer heat and enjoy some slightly cooler mountain air.
