Echols Dorm: Brick Wall By Side Door
Riprap Area, Shenandoah National Park
this hike is like an appetizer platter, it’ll give you a little taste of everything! there’s streams, swimming holes, a waterfall, and summit views, so what more could you ask for? it’s a pretty moderate 9.5 mile loop that’ll give us a solid workout & plenty of instagram worthy scenery. everyone pack a lunch to picnic by the swimming hole, and bring a bathing suit if you are willing to brave the freezing waters!

arrive at riprap: 11:00am
~will give ourselves 5.5 hours to hike, swim, eat, jam etc~
