Hi For those in need of a study break (whether you’re feeling the 5am wakeup or still up studying from the night before, I won’t judge), I offer you a Humpback sunrise. The last one was pretty gorgeous so I have moderately high hopes. Trip picture is from last time. For those who haven’t done Humpback, it’s wicked short (under …
Who is ready for some snackin’, hikin’ relaxation time in the middle of finals? And where’s a better place to snack and hike than our old friend Humpback Rock? Not only that, what’s a better time to snack and hike than sunrise? Join us for a hike to appreciate our two favorite things, snacking and the sun, at Humpback. BYO …
Last weekend’s attempt to do Old Rag turned into a Rivanna jog due to driver shortage. Seeing how many people are leaving this weekend, I don’t love my odds but here goes with attempt 2. If you have a car and want to do Old Rag but the timing or day of this trip doesn’t work, I’m flexible. Shoot me …
Who: Your favorite officer Joseph Abbe What: hike (3.8mi) Where: Rose river trail When: Saturday at 10am Why: Because why not https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/virginia/rose-river-trail Rose river looks like a pretty chill little hike to get out in nature before you go home for thanksgiving, something that I have been lacking in the past few weeks It’ll probably cost zero if we get …
There is ANOTHER full moon this month (I guess that’s how the moon works huh) so how about ANOTHER hike up to Little Calf Mountain to see the moon in all her glory!! This will be a quick Thursday night trip after class and before the rest of the night, so there’s no reason not to come :))) Here’s the …
Howdy I was complaining about two sunsets on Humpback where we got stuck in the fog so I led a sunrise hike and it was a *Borat voice* great success! Trip picture is from that morning. Anyway now I’m hooked and am doing a part 2. For those who haven’t done Humpback, it’s wicked short (under a mile to the …
Howdy Unfortunately both times I’ve hiked Humpback we’ve been totally stuck in the fog. So I’m gonna lead Humpback hikes until I get a good one. For those who haven’t done Humpback, it’s wicked short (under a mile to the top) and has great views (or at least so I’ve heard). This hike will be pretty chill, but it is …
WELCOME FRIENDS!!! I’m desperately trying to get out and enjoy the fall foliage before it’s all gone, so I thought this slightly warmer weather called for a quick little sunrise humpback hike. For those who have yet to make their way up to Humpback, it is a pretty short (~1 mile) hike up to the top. It shouldn’t take us …
HELLOO TRAIL MONGERERSS!!! Sometimes, things don’t work out the way you want them to. Sometimes, you put your socks on then realize they’re better suited for your ears. And sometimes, you craft a beautiful trail but Jason from CAMBC tells you it’s too steep. BUT, NEVER FEAR!!!!! For we shall REUNITE this Monmorn at high 8 AM for another BEAUTIFUL …
Day-tripping is an art form, but also a science. It can be learned in minutes, but takes a lifetime to master. The reward? Achieving the fullest of sends while still having the luxury of sleeping in your own bed that night. Ok that was a pretty dramatic intro for a 9 or so mile hike but you get the point. …
Are you like me? Do you have gaping holes in the bottom of your backpack that your laptop threatens to fall through on a daily basis? Does your backpack’s water bottle holder regularly fail the task it was specifically designed for? Has this equipment failure come at the cost of one of your precious Nalgene water bottles? Or maybe you …
Hello all! Crabtree Falls?! Heck yeah. You all might have done Crabtree Falls before, but have you done it with some cool queers led by yours truly (Finn and Marian). No, but now you have a chance. This is a queer/trans affinity trip to Crab Tree Falls right off of the Blue Ridge Parkway to look at a Very Pretty …
Long week this week? Can’t make it to NRGE? Look forward to ending it with a beautiful sunset at Stony Man in SNP!! This will be a short (~1.5 miles total) summit hike so very beginner friendly.

Here ye, here ye, calling all earth-dwellers! Do you love sales? Can’t pass up a good deal? Well consider this, TWO hikes. That’s right, TWO, as in 1 + 1 = 2, for the price of one! (which is free, by the way). The first hike: take a leisurely drive through some good ‘ol West Virginia state routes, arriving at …
Hello everyone! I hope you will join me on what I believe to be one of the most beautiful and popular hikes at NRG! It passes through the forest, over a small creek, and extends zig zagging along the cliff edge offering amazing views of the gorge and bridge from 1000 feet up! We may even get a glimpse of …

What better way to spend a crisp November Saturday than meandering through the forest? We’re going to be hiking a loop around Hawksbill Mountain and Franklin Cliffs, which is a longer hike but with minimal elevation gain and gorgeous views. In other words, if you’ve been craving a long, chill walk in the woods, this is the adventure for you! …

Hello, my beautiful ODC!!! It is I, Victor, an obsolete officer from an era gone by (2019 grad) back in town to pass on ancient knowledge and reinvigorate myself with your youthful presence!

Hello, my beautiful ODC!!! It is I, Victor, an obsolete officer from an era gone by (2019 grad) back in town to pass on ancient knowledge and reinvigorate myself with your youthful presence! Are you being “responsible” and using your reading days to actually study? Are you feeling left out of all the oudoorsy shenanigans and long weekend trips? Fear …
Hello, hello! Who doesn’t love a good sunrise? We can’t think of a better way to start a fun fall Friday then with a chill hike. Also neither of us have been on the O’hill trails in the morning, so this should be a very chill and easy trip. Bodos just makes it even better. Ideally, we’ll meet at 6:15 …

Hi Chicititas, you and I knoooowwwww that a quick lil hike up Humpback is always necessary on a Monday afternoon when you’re stuck in Cville during Fall Break. This is definitely a beginner hike that only takes ~30 minutes (with some breaks) but still has some sick views from the top! DRIVERS NEEDED! -Drivers need to show up to Echols …
If you haven’t guessed from the title of this trip, I have been reading the Heroes of Olympus series by Rick Riordan. Whether you believe that Helios pulls the sun across the sky with a Pegasus drawn chariot or that dumb stuff that Copernicus came up with, this trip is for you. This is a super chill sunrise trip to …
HELLOOOO MY FELLOW CREATURES OF THE TRAILS!!!!

Fall is in the air, and you know what that means!! Pumpkin spice, apple pies, weather that’s less than 200 degrees, and of course, foliage so pretty it’ll knock your socks off!

Hi fellow fall lovers
Hear ye, Hear ye – all Creekathon rejects! Who wants to hike Old Rag with me THIS SUNDAY? This hike has about 2400ft elevation gain, a rock scramble on the way up, and a beautiful 360 degree view at the summit. It’s a fairly challenging 9.5 mile loop but well worth it! We’ll be going at a chill pace but …
Tired of school already? Let the forest distract you from all your exams and assignments with a pre-creekathon backpacking trip! (This is in no way affiliated with creekathon.) The destination is St. Mary’s Wilderness, a beautiful forest just 1 hour away from us that used to be heavily mined. It’s a perfect place to get an intro to backpacking, but …
Devil’s marbleyard is a boulder field in Jefferson National Forest with some great views and is a whole lotta fun to climb and explore.
