Here's another adventure inspired by my attempts to nibble off a few more miles for my SNP 500. This adventure takes us to the very end of the southern district.

The plan:
Depart Vienna and head to Rockfish Gap. We'll station a few cars there, and then make our way north to Jarman Gap to start our adventure. We'll head north along the AT to Turk Branch Trail, and then take that down to the South Moormans River Road. We'll follow that trail south and eventually rejoin the AT, taking that down to the Calf Mountain Hut. We'll camp there for the evening.

Sunday is all AT back to Rockfish Gap and our cars. Reverse the shuttle and then make our way home.

This should be a nice outing to explore some of Shenandoah's southern-most trails.

I'll hold five spots for applicants and will prioritize them on the wait list. Applicants, you'll need to send me a gear list to be approved for the trip.

DCULers have maps! PATC's Map 11 (South District) is the one to have.

Questions? Send them my way.

Group size is limited to 10.
