Blue Ridge Sampler

Let's do a few smaller hikes along the Blue Ridge, plus check out a new (to us) bakery to fuel up for our day. We'll meet at the Oilville Park & ride. First stop after departure is Praha Bakery, where we will enjoy a quick breakfast and pit stop. From there we will head to the trailhead for Humpback Rocks. We will do the short but steep up and back route, with plenty of time for taking in the awesome views from atop the rocks. Round trip for this hike is 2 miles with total elevation gain of about 1000'.
Next we'll make our way to a much flatter trail, by driving to the East entrance of the Blue Ridge Tunnel.
We'll take the trail and tunnel that runs under Afton Mountain out and back. The total distance is 4.4 miles and the elevation gain for this trail is only 260'.
