Massanutten Mountain has over 160 miles of hiking trails. Elizabeth Furnace Recreation Area provides an excellent access to many of these trails. Long or short, there’s a trail for everyone. The Potomac Appalachian Trail Club’s Guide to the Massanutten Mountain is recommended both for planning and for reference while hiking.

This will be a chance to test out your cold weather gear within 100 yards of the car. We will review each person's gear on site and go on day hikes in the area. The objective is to prepare for winter trips in the future. Plenty of time to sit around a campfire in the evening to relax. Contact the leader for more information or to register.
