Cedar Run & Whiteoak Canyon Hike

OVERVIEW

Get ready to hike a trail which boasts a series of six waterfalls, with the uppermost fall being the highest at 86 feet.

We will depart from Bonnycastle Circle around 9:00AM and start hiking the Whiteoak Canyon Area at Shenandoah National Park by 10:30-10:45 AM. Its going to be strenuous 8.2 mile circuit hike for 5-6 hours. The waterfalls on White Oak are more spectacular that those on Cedar Run, but Cedar Run has a waterfall that you can slide down! Cedar Run also has more deep pools for taking a dip in.

Things to get:
Hiking or Tennis shoes
Bathing suit
Water/Gatorade (2-3 lts)
Lunch and Snacks
Humor and Wit
Awesome adventurous spirit
Mountain water can still be cold so bring a towel and extra warm clothing if you plan on getting in the water

The club provides:
A seat in a car
Gas money for drivers (+30%)

Drivers get priority as always and I will determine the number of hikers by number of cars.
