A crew of two hikers braved blue skies, warm temps, and the threat of a crowded trailhead parking lot on the Saturday, May 29 Memorial Day Weekend Charlottesville Chapter hike. After nabbing the last legal parking space, Dan Funkhouser and “Dan’s personal hike leader” Jeff Monroe explored the entire Staunton River Trail and the Graves Mill Trail, along with some shaded fire roads connecting the two trails. This part of Shenandoah National Park was alive with flowing streams which, despite the day’s heat, made for a refreshing day on the trail. The hike totaled 12 miles with 2000 feet elevation gain, and the hikers were back in town by 4 PM.
