Eight miles and 750' of elevation gain. Note: the hike is on the borderline of a B level hike. Though there are no big climbs, there are quite a few fairly steep up and downs.
Hike starts at 9 am. Please arrive 15 minutes early so we can get signed in and start on time.
We'll begin the hike from the main parking lot of Fountainhead Regional Park on the Bull Run/Occoquan Trail. After about a half mile, we'll leave the main trail and work out way back to the east side of the park. After passing a couple of deserted cars, we'll return to the parking lot.
We hike at a pace of ~ 2.5 mph while moving. You must have experience with hikes of this length and elevation gain.
Meet at the Fountainhead Regional Park, 10875 Hampton Rd., Fairfax Station, VA 22039. Enter the park and drive about a half mile to large parking lot on the right.
