Hippity Hoppity, Old Rag to the Toppity

OVERVIEW

Howdy folks,

***DRIVERS AND THOSE WITH SNP PARK PASS GET PRIORITY***
**DRIVERS REIMBURSED PLUS A 50% TIP CAPPED AT $20**

Ready for a spooktacular adventure to Old Rag? Then you came to the right place. If you know anything about Old Rag during peak fall seasons, tourists come from all over and hella crowd up the rock scramble. So, if you don’t get there early, ESPECIALLY on a weekend, you’re kinda screwed.

SOoOoOo Plan is to meet at Echol’s at 5:45am, start hiking at 7, and hike the entire 10 mile loop. We’ll stop at the top for lunch and some dope pics because the lush foliage will be in its PRIME. We’ll get done by 11:30am, and drive back to Cville. Shouldn’t be back any later than 12:30pm tbh.

I PLAN ON RUNNING MOST OF THE SECOND HALF OF THIS LOOP. I don’t want to call this trip a trail run but most of our descent will probably be a jog so please don’t join if you’re not in shape to do this. This hike is physically challenging with steep elevation gains for long distances. The rock scrambles are also some of the more difficult ones you will encounter on a hike. Hikingupward ranks it 4/5 in terms of difficulty.

That being said ^^^ i hiked this multiple times as a first year and had little trouble. you should just be in generally good shape, even if you’ve never done old rag before. If we run the second half, we’ll get back to grounds even earlier (I know you busybodies will have things to do). Entry will be $5/person if we can’t get SNP passes.

Things needed:
-snack (cliff bars or fruit chews idk)
-2L water (preferably in a hydration pack)
-layers to strip on and off)
-sturdy shoes
-chipper attitude!

Much love,

Officer ASAP
