It was a beautiful summer day in the 80s BUT it was the middle of December! Eight determined hikers setting out to climb one of the steepest hikes in our area and to do it quickly enough for some folks to get back to town for holiday festivities. We did make the first half of the hike, the first 4 miles and the 3,050’ elevation gain climb to the top in 2 ½ hours! Dan Ralston led Jeanne Densmore, Heather Lambert, Pete Fink, Lindsay Brown, Dave Abdallah, Chadwick Watter and Grace Niu on the hike. We had two new people join us: Heather Lambert and Chadwick Watters and I think we will see them again with us soon. Everyone enjoyed the stunning views on the way up and we had lunch on the top with a very clear panoramic view of the Shenandoah Valley. A great hike enjoyed by all.
