Whiteoak Canyon Falls Lower Trailhead, Chad Berry Lane, Syria, VA, USA
After a couple weeks of dealing with snow and ice, it’s all finally starting to melt away, which means it’s time to gohiking again. In preparation for a sufferfest at some point this semester, come with me and Finn to do this 8.5 mile loop. EIt’s got about 2,300 feet of elevation gain, so it’ll be a bit of a workout, but nothing too crazy and we’ll take it a chill pace.
