Lori and Darrell Doughty met hike leader Michael Seth at the former Massanutten Visitor’s Center on 211. Barbara Martin arrive a bit late just after the three had left the parking lot so missed the hike. The weather was near perfect, sunny temperatures in the 70s with gentle breezes and very little humidity. We hiked at a fairly brisk pace starting at 9:40 and finishing the 12 mile hike a little after 3:00. We took a brief look at Emerald Pond which really was emerald-colored. We didn’t jump in as planned partly because the weather was not. We skipped the sunny path with the giant anthills and hiked along the cliffs. Exceptionally clear air gave us great views to the West from Big Schloss to the north to Elliot Knob in the south, and distant peaks in West Virginia.
