“AWESOMELY DIFFICULT, EXHAUSTING HIKE” (3 RIDGES)

OVERVIEW

The weather has finally gotten a bit colder .. and the days are getting shorter. But TURNS OUT!!! You can still GO OUTSIDE???

Sundays are for walks … and next Sunday I want to knock out a hike from my list to do before I graduate! So come join me for a decently-long, semi-strenuous, but super fun amazing endorphin-producing hike: the three ridges loop.

Three ridges is a 13.6 mile trail with ~3800 ft of elevation gain. The hike has “vista after vista along the Appalachian Trail and many small waterfalls and pools on the Mau-Har Trail” (check out the all trails. This hike should take us 7 hours ISH. This hike will definitely be a challenge, but YOU ARE CAPABLE!!!

** A DRIVER WILL GET PRIORITY ** (show up with full tank + will get reimbursed with tip!)
