Mount Rogers Backpack
Mount Rogers Backpack
Details
Come and join us for a 2-night backpack in the Mt. Rogers area. It'll be 16-17 mile moderate hike in highlands of Virginia with a good chance to see blooming mount laurel and flame azaleas as well as wild ponies (bring some carrots or almonds and they'll eat from your hands). We'll meet at 9:00 am at Grindstone Campground where we'll leave our vehicles ($3.00/night) and we expect to be back there Monday by noon. In case you need/prefer to stay in the area for the night of 5/26, the campground is an option (it'll be a holiday weekend - reservation recommended).
Directions
From Marion, VA, take exit 45 to Highway 16 South. Continue for 17 miles, then turn right onto Highway 603. After 6 miles turn left into the Grindstone Campground entrance.
