WOOHOO READING DAY. It has been a couple weeks since I’ve been hiking, and I’ve yet to summit Old Rag. I’m a big fan of rock scrambles, and now that the leaves have fallen, we should have great visibility through the trees. And the best part is, we don’t have to buy tickets anymore (until spring)! We’ll be hiking the …
It’s finals season and I need an overnight escape in the woods. Enter the Gittin’ Pickled Cabin, a beautiful getaway 0.6 miles east of the AT. Mcafee’s Knob, Dragon’s Tooth, and Tinker cliffs trailheads just minutes away with a car. This is definitely glamping- the cabin has bunk beds, potable drinking water, a fire pit, toilet, hot water with a …
I haven’t been hiking in a couple weeks, so this weekend I will be taking a much needed trek into Shenandoah to knock out two hikes I’ve been wanting to try out. We will leave Saturday morning for Hawksbill Summit first. It is the highest peak in Shenandoah, and should take about 1 1/2 hours to complete. We’ll be going …
Real moment: it took me a long time to get comfortable with myself and my body. When I was a student, I remember cherishing my time in solitude outdoors in part because it was one of the few environments where I could exist in a disembodied way, escaping the perceptions of individuals and the judgements of society. While I believe …
Hi Everyone, When was the last time you sat still by yourself in the forest and just focused on whats going on around you? Even if you spend a lot of time in the outdoors, you’re probably leaving many small details unnoticed as you bike, paddle, or dash through the world. If this fact torments you as it torments me, …
Hello! I love Halloween. I also love hiking. I have also never hiked Dragon’s Tooth. So I am combining all of the above. Dragon’s Tooth is said to be pretty rocky and there are some areas with rock scrambles, so I might not recommend if you have a crippling fear of heights. It is rated as hard, but with the …
The number of leaves on the ground has increased greatly, which means the ones on the trees are decreasing. Yike. Soon, we will not be able to use those leaves as a means of identifying our friends (the trees), so we’ve got to get out and get to know them asap! This identification/appreciation themed meander through the OHill roads & …
So, You want to go BASE Jumping, Eh? Well, Unfortunately the paperwork elves over at UVA’s Risk Management Department will not let anyone currently enrolled as a student go BASE-jumping, and I have no desire to hurl myself off of a multi-ton steel structure to prove Sir Issac Newton right. Instead, let’s watch a couple of other people decide to …

LISTEN UP FOLKS! It’s that time of year again.

Take a little break from studying to bop on up to Hawksbill Summit: a super quick 1.5-mile out and back trail that is relatively steep on the way up but should allow for a nice distraction from the stress of finals. I’m thinking we acquire some foods from Trader Joe’s, get to the summit a little before sunset, have a …
Jade, Ed and I were reminiscing summer days spent barefoot in the woods crafting little earth houses for the mythical woodland creatures and fairies that exist. So come join us as we honor and embrace our inner barefoot dirt child that is still somewhere within us. The plan is loose – leave the Corner of Echols at 2 on Friday, …
What do you do when you’re in the middle of the woods (or far away from home on the road) and your monster legs cause you to snap your chain? If you can’t fix it, you’ll have a long walk back out, and nobody wants to end a ride like that. Come learn how to fix a broken chain! This …
Hi friends!! This coming Thursday looks like a beautiful day to sit down in one of the UVA gardens, munch on some food, and attempt to identify birds! I’m pretty non well-versed in the art of birding, but perhaps some of you have knowledge to share, or want to be bad at bird identification in solidarity! This trip is generally …
You read that right – the plan is to ride 50-some miles on our bikes and climb just over a mile vertically (~5500 ft). This won’t be an easy ride, but it promises high reward: great views, comraderie, and a serious sense of accomplishment at the end of the day. We’ll ride a loop I’ve done a few times before …
***THIS HIKE WAS RESCHEDULED FROM 10/15 TO 10/22*** but it will be even better this time bc it is PEAK WEEEEKKKK BABY Hi fellow fall lovers <33 if you’re anything like me, pumpkin cream cold brews and the imminent arrival of fall foliage are the only things getting you through midterms season.

I definitely don’t use my hammock nearly enough, so why not relax during finals and use a reading day exactly what they’re meant for. I mean I won’t be studying, but at least I’ll be reading.
