Brisk Hike at Manassas Battlefield National Park

Lovely hike through the scenic rolling farm land that is location of the first battle of the Civil War.
This area is rich in history and scenery. I love this hike for the open vistas and rolling hills.
Time: Hike leaves at 9:30am. Please be there early to gear up, use rest rooms.
Where to Meet. Henry Hill Visitor Center porch. 6511 Sudley Rd, Manassas, VA. 20109
Difficulty- moderate. I hike at a brisk pace so this not a good hike for new or out of shape hikers. If you can’t keep up you risk being left behind. Make sure you grab a map at the visitor center so you can find your way back.
