Old Rag Hike – Shenandoah National Park. What an incredible adventure. This was officially the hardest hike we’ve done so far, climbing over 3,400 feet for an amazing summit payoff.
Starting from the Berry Hollow entrance, the hike begins with over 2.5 miles of uphill climbing. Just when your legs feel like they can’t take another step, you finally reach the summit. The breathtaking views make every ounce of effort worthwhile. We spent about 45 minutes relaxing and taking it all in before tackling the 2.5-mile hike back down.
And the drive in the pitch-dark forest on a narrow, winding, one-lane road. CRAZY. Definitely an adventure before the adventure.
What a workout. What a view. What a sense of accomplishment. Absolutely worth it. Virginia is for Lovers Shenandoah National Park Video Larry
