Cancelled - possible thunderstorms- rather be safe!
Details
We'll hike SoBo or south bound on the Appalachian Trail from the Keys Gap parking lot on Rt 9 towards the Dave Lessor shelter approximately 6 miles. We'll be hiking on top of the ridge line with nice views of the valley. 22 minute miles - a little less than 3 mph. There is about 850 feet of elevation gain which is approximately 60 stories of an average building. I am rating this hike as moderate.
There is limited parking at keys gap however there is a lot on the other side as you heads towards West Virginia. You may need to park there. Please allow time to park and get to the meeting location.
Afterwards we'll gather at The Harvest Gap Brewery 15485 Purcellville Rd, Hillsboro, VA 20132 for food & beverages.
Note: we do start on time so please plan accordingly. We will take a break for snacks, water, and a picture at the shelter.
