Hiking (Day Hikes)
Echols Dorm: Brick Wall By Side Door
The Priest
The weather looks wonderful this Friday, and the leaves continue to change! For those of you who are also lucky enough to have no Friday classes, let’s head out to The Priest for a long but rewarding hike. It’s about 9 miles out and back, and should take 5-6 hours (including breaks). It’s 3,000 feet in elevation gain.
The plan: Meet at Echols Dorm at 6:30 AM, and drive about an hour to get to the trailhead. We’ll start hiking around 7:30 AM, return to the car around 1, and be back in Charlottesville by 2 or so. I built in some extra time just in case we take longer breaks.
