Trumbo Hollow (Moderate, 6.5mi 1,495 ft elevation), The Farm Brewery

This Sunday we'll be doing a LMH favorite. A short but fun hike on a part of the Appalachian Trail (AT) in Virginia that passes through fields, streams, and lush forest. HikingUpwards describes it as "a hike that make[s] you feel like you're in a J.R.R. Tolkien novel."

We'll move at a relaxed pace for this group and stop for a snack at the well-appointed Jim & Molly Denton Shelter on the AT, before retracing our steps back to the cars. Expect the hike to take about 3 hours of moving time.

Afterwards we’ll head to The Farm Brewery at Broad Run, which features food options, beer, and cornhole, among other things.

This hike is moderate, but would still be challenging for a completely unconditioned person. It's 6.5 miles long, with 1,495 ft of elevation gain.
