St Mary's Wilderness Shuttle Hike

Moderately Strenuous Shuttle Hike of 7 miles with 325 ft of elevation gain and 1750 ft of elevation loss. We will meet at St Mary's Trail Parking Area. Then after 30-minute shuttle we will start our hike at the Mine Bank Creek Trailhead on the Blue Ridge Parkway. During our hike we will visit the old mining area and St Mary Falls. Be sure to bring water, lunch-snacks, hiking boots, and dress for the weather. Expect the stream crossings to be wet! (Most steppingstones have been washed away) And you might want to take a dip in the river so “Be Prepared”. Sorry No Dogs and being a Wilderness Area limits participation to 10. Will send participants an update couple of days ahead of the hike. There will be a carpool opportunity from Charlottesville for sure. Note: There will be a 2nd opportunity posted soon for week of May 25th.
