Echols Dorm: Brick Wall By Side Door
Crabtree Falls
***NEW LOCATION & CHANGES***
rumor has it barstool just released an article that declared ODC the best frat on UVA grounds. clearly this is a fact and in celebration i’m throwing a mountaintop mixer with some adventurous folks from jmu.
my good pal charlie and i both went to SE Asia this past summer with an incredible organization called GIVE (Growth International Volunteer Excursions) and we both met some dope people from JMU that share a passion for the great outdoors & community engagement. with our schools being only an hour apart, we figured why not meet at a mountain half way between & do a lil social gathering. JMU has their own GIVE club, so we’ll be meeting up with them at CRABTREE FALLS (99% chance we won’t have access to riprap this weekend sadly)
it’s a moderate 2.8 mile out & back hike with views of the falls the whole way up. learn more here:
