3rd annual Good Friday Getaway: Virginia Bluebells hike
Details
Come spend Good Friday hiking the day away as we continue our yearly quest to discover the best places to see Virginia Bluebells, which only make an appearance for about 3 weeks every April.
This year we'll explore another popular location for seeing these beauties by heading to Manassas National Battlefield Park. We'll walk the trails of the battlefield, and will seek out the replica stone bridge for some photo ops!
Pack your lunch and we will find a pretty spot to picnic on the trail. Optional post-hike stop in Old Town Manassas for food/hydration/quick stroll thru historic main street before heading back to Richmond.
