Overnight Backpacking @ St Mary’s Wilderness

OVERVIEW

We’ll start from the Blue Ridge Parkway on Saturday and hike down to a waterfall and some swimming holes. I think it’s about a 3 – 4 mile hike. We’ll try to claim a good site to set up camp and spend the afternoon and night relaxing by / in the river. On Sunday we’ll escape the way we came.

For now the trip size is set to four. I’ll add another car after more drivers sign up.
