Charlottesville Walk (Union Station)

With the changing of the seasons let’s take a day trip to Charlottesville! We’ll spend the day walking around the historic downtown, the UVA campus, Monticello, a few trails, and we’ll try to hit up some breweries/and or wineries. I’m still determining the exact route, I will update this post with that info later. This is an all day affair, if you join please be prepared to spend 12+ hours away, and are willing to walk long distances (potentially up hills), and will bring any supplies you need (water, snacks, sunscreen, etc.)

Logistics
This walk requires more than just metro. You may drive if you would like, but I'm assuming most (including myself) will be taking the train to Charlottesville. We will meet at Union Station at 7:45 AM and take the 151 Northeast Regional leaving at 8:15 AM. The train also stops at Alexandria if that is more convenient. For the trip back to DC we will take the 66 Northeast Regional leaving Charlottesville at 7:01 PM. I HIGHLY recommend booking your train ticket ASAP as prices do increase as we get closer to the date. You can book your train tickets at amtrak.com.

Outbound Train: 151 Northeast Regional
Inbound Train: 66 Northeast Regional

Start Location: Union Station (Main Hall)
End Location: Union Station
Approx. Map: To be determined

Our events prioritize metro accessibility by meeting and ending at metro stations. Sometimes we start/stop at the same station, sometimes we do not. Please double check the event description for start/end locations to see if you can manage transportation to them.
We try to be punctual with our event times so please be respectful to others and show up a few minutes early, because we will leave without you.
If you've enjoyed our walks please consider donating a few bucks to help us keep this group running (meetup is expensive!). Donation Link
