Easy Friday Morning Hike on the Rivanna and a trip to Glass Half Full

I'm trying to get some of these Friday hikes back on the schedule, so this time let's do the Rivanna starting from the 5th Street Station area. (Check the where to meet section for parking information.)

We'll do the Rivanna from 5th Street to Stribling Avenue and turn around at the train bridge with all the cool graffiti. Most of the trail is actual trail but involves a little road walking.

(I also saw a cool red-shouldered hawk here once when I walked home from a movie at Alamo Drafthouse.)

After the hike we can go to Glass Half Full at Alamo Drafthouse for drinks (non-alcoholic and alcoholic, whatever your preference). They have a full menu available. Glass Half Full

Difficulty Rating: Easy, just under 5 miles with no significant elevation change

What to Bring/Wear: Appropriate footwear for walking/hiking on an at-times rugged trail, water, trekking poles if you prefer them, layers and layers

Weather: If the forecast calls for severe weather I will update the group in the comments.

Dog Policy: Pups are allowed. Please keep them leashed for their safety and for the comfort of other hikers.

RSVP: If you find you’re not going to be able to attend, please update your RSVP to “Not Going” as soon as possible. RSVPs close one day prior, so please change your status early if necessary to allow those next on the waitlist adequate time to prepare.
