We’ve got a great two-part hiking series coming up! Whether you’re prepping for our 30/3 Epic Challenge or just in it for a solid day hike and some good company, there’s something for everyone.

Part 1: Friday Night – Backpackers Only
Meet: Annapolis Rocks Trailhead, 5:30 PM sharp.

For: Those training for the 30-mile / 3-day “30/3 Epic” backpacking adventure.

Route:
• Hike in full backpacking gear.
• Southbound past Washington Monument.
• Camp overnight at Dahlgren Campground.

This is a great chance to test your gear, legs, and pack weight before the big trip.

Part 2: Saturday Day Hike – All Are Welcome!

Meet: Old South Mountain Inn parking lot, 10:00 AM.
Route:
• Hike south on the AT to Reno Monument – a quick history stop.
• Continue to Rocky Run Shelters.
• 🏕️ Chill, relax, and enjoy a backpack beer tasting!

(Bring two IPAs or microbrews in a Ziploc with ice in your pack—something to share and taste!)
• Hike back to Old South Mountain Inn.

Optional Add-On: After we finish, let’s head into town for a stop at the distillery and lunch at Sizzling Fajita 🌮🔥

Note for Day Hikers: If you're up for a little more, a small group may hike up to Washington Monument before or after to check it out—let us know if you're interested!

💬 DM if you’re coming to either part (or both!) so we can coordinate rides, packs, and brews. Let’s hike, laugh, and sip our way through the trail together.
