Hike to Beautiful View of the Tye River Gorge

OVERVIEW

If you wanted to get out to Three Ridges last week but couldn’t go you might enjoy this much shorter hike in the same area! We’ll start at the trailhead on Love Gap on the Parkway, 16 miles south of where 64 crosses the Blue Ridge, and hike about three miles out along the Three Ridges trail to a stunning view of the Tye River Gorge and the Priest mountain and stop for lunch. We’ll come back along the same route for a roughly six mile hike. passing apple trees, remnants of old homesteads and the Maupin Field Shelter on the AT. If there’s time we can also take a short detour down the Mau-Har trail to some beautiful pools along Campbell Creek on the way back!
