First Sunday Breakfast and Hike

What's better than bacon and hiking?

Details

Join us for another First Sunday hike where we have breakfast and then hike it off.  Weather should be awesome.

Breakfast will be at McLean's Restaurant 8:30-9:15.  Hike starts at 9:30 a.m.  We'll start at the North Bank Trail Head off Pump House Drive, Richmond VA.  It is the FIRST gravel parking lot on your left when you get at the bottom of the hill, on Pump House Drive (approximately 0.2 mi from Park Drive) See Trail Head map.

The route will take us along Maymont Park, Kansas Ave, Texas Ave, then by Hollywood Cemetery, Tredegar Iron Works and out to Belle Island before looping back to our starting point at Pump House Road.  Total mileage will be about 4-5 miles of moderate hiking.  There will be some areas that are hilly and a bit challenging, but doable for the average person. Bring water and a snack.

This trail is on the North side of the James River, the trail nearest the city.
