Overview

Nestled within the depths of the George Washington National Forest lies a trail winding through a deep, rugged valley, where the sun rises at 10 in the morning and vanishes at 3 in the afternoon. Here, the specter of flash floods looms ever-present, and impassable roads can remain obstructed for weeks. This is the true essence of the Appalachian wilderness, where elusive bobcats and bears keep a watchful eye, demanding your utmost vigilance. Not for the faint-hearted, but you'll never feel more alive!
