An Alternative Hike with a Scramble

OVERVIEW

A rock scramble from Sherando lake up to the Torry Ridge is just as good as Devil’s Marbleyard but the drive up to Sherando is a lot shorter (under an hour), accordingly, we can do a SLIGHTLY longer hike (hehehe). Once we scramble up to the Torry Ridge, we’ll follow it to the Mount Torry Furnace, drop into the Mills Creek drainage, climb back up towards the Bald Mtn and complete the loop along the Slacks Trail. The loop is 16mi long (no, really!). Bring lunch, water, and a flashlight (in case we find a shortcut and 16mi turns into 20).
Club provides gas money/seat in a car.
I’ll expand the group as drivers sign on.
