*** 🚗 Meet at Gabe’s store in Martinsburg at 5:30 if you want to carpool. Please let us know if you plan on riding along so we can try to accommodate!

🌅 Can’t wait to get out for a sunset hike next Monday!

We will be doing the High Rock overlook via the AT, but are going to do a point-to-point hike and have pickup vehicles at the overlook. This will still be a moderately challenging hike of about 3 miles and a good amount of incline (~1000ft).

Will update with carpool info. 🚗 Please message if interested.

Great day for a hike ☀️

Yay, We gained an extra hour of evening daylight!!

This calls for a sunset hike!! 🌅

This is a short hike from the lower lot up to Bears Den overlook (Purcelville, VA). Great spot for catching the sun goin down!

High of 61 degrees Thursday, so weather should be pretty nice!
