A large group 19 hikers scaled the western slope of Elliott Knob on the July 7, 2018 group hike for a combined Natural Bridge Appalachian Trail Club and PATC-Charlottesville event. Ascent on the Cold Springs Trail wasn’t always easy, as the trail needs some trail maintenance love, but the view at the top was spectacularly clear for a July day. Views from the fire tower at the top easily exceeded 50 miles. PATC members included Marit Anderson, Anne Colgate, Nancy Handly, David Crowe, Marie Moss, Claire Cline, Marian Styles, Debra Fisher, and hike leader Jeff Monroe with dog Gracie. Newcomers included Ivan Via, Kody Kiser, and Andrea Collins. Five NBATC hikers joined the group, traveling from as far away as Bedford. Several hikers also enjoyed talking and hiking with Hiking Upward website founder Tony Van Vugt, who traveled down from Ashburn for the hike.
