Who Said Hiking is White?

OVERVIEW

Have you ever been laughed at when you say you want to hike because it’s “white” or felt left out because of the lack of representation in outdoorsy activities? If you have, this trip is for you! This is an affinity trip open to all POC to create a comfortable and safe space for all to enjoy their interests!

We will be hiking Jones Run Falls in Shenandoah which is a calm 3.2 mile round trip hike of moderate difficulty (but definitely beginner friendly) where we will see some waterfalls. Also, there is a stream crossing so wear appropriate shoes and it’ll be in the 40s/50s so dress warm and bring some snacks! More info about the hike can be found here: https://www.nps.gov/thingstodo/jones-run-falls.htm.

The plan:
8am – leave from Echols (if you need to be picked up somewhere else let us know!)
9am – reach destination and start trekking
11am – finish hike! and set out for Cville
12/12:30pm – touch down on grounds

Let us know if you have any questions/concerns!
