Well, as we feared, the US Government shut down continues, throwing a curveball into our plans to visit Shenandoah National Park this week. Therefore, this hike will be at Sky Meadow State Park. Exact meeting location will be in your confirmation letter you receive upon registration or the updated email you receive on Oct. 18th if you registered prior to Oct. 18th.
Updated plan: We will hike a 4-mile loop with 570 feet elevation change at Sky Meadows State Park.
Entry/Parking Fees:
Sky Meadows SP - $10/vehicle
The park has bathrooms, sufficient parking, and picnic tables, so bring a picnic lunch to enjoy after our hike. The loop we'll hike was chosen for its views of the autumn leaves.
Registration closes on Monday, October 20.
Note: Becky is still camping at Shenandoah National Park before and after the hike. Call or text her for details if you want to join her.
This activity is open to members and non-members of Women Outdoors. Non-members are welcome to attend two WO events as guests. On your third event, we'll ask you to join the Mid-Atlantic Region of Women Outdoors. You can also join right now by clicking on this Join Us link.
