Old Rag 2.0 - updated 2/12

We did this hike in December 2021, and it was great fun! So, I want to do it again and invite people to do it again or do it for the first time.

This is an all-day event, 9.4 miles and 2,164 feet elevation gain, with a lot of scrambling and beautiful views. You will need trekking poles and a way to store them when scrambling. Gloves that grip are highly recommended. We will start early, as trailhead parking gets crowded. If anyone can come with a big vehicle that can transport several of us, that would be great. The trail is 20 minutes from our lodging.

We still stay again at Graves Mountain Lodge and Farmhouse, this time camping in the nearby campground.

We will arrive Friday night and hang out, with everyone contributing snacks.
Saturday we will each have breakfast on our own, and take a trail lunch and plenty of water for the hike.
Saturday night, we will enjoy the farmhouse dinner.
Sunday morning, we will enjoy the farmhouse buffet.

Sunday we can enjoy optional activities; last time we went horseback riding and it was terrific! We can also do a short hike to stretch our legs or do that on the way home.

Come and enjoy a super fun hike! Watch for updates.
