Join us for an invigorating 13.3 mile loop hike up to the summit of Mt. Rogers in SW Virginia. 

From the Grindstone Campground, we'll take the Mount Rogers Trail up to and join with the Appalacian Trail, following that to the Mt Roger Spur Trail up to the actual Mt Rogers summit (5750 feet).  From there, we'll descend back down the Spur trail, then continue East on the AT until we turn onto the Cliffside Trail, follow that to the Lewis Fork connector Trail, and then finally end up back at the Grindstone Campground.

Participants should check the weather for Troutedale, VA and dress accordingly but in any case wear boots or sturdy shoes, bring water, snacks, and lunch.

Hike time should be 5.5-7 hours from start to finish.
