Hiking (Day Hikes)
Corner of Echols (or wherever you want to be picked up)
also corner of echols (or wherever your heart desires)
Dark Hollow Falls Trailhead, Skyline Drive, Stanley, VA, USA
What’s better than one waterfall? Finn and I will be leading a hike that hits two Shenandoah waterfalls (Dark Hollow & Rose River) in one loop. Since the weather will be pretty nice, we’ll finish with a swim in the pools at the bottom of Rose River Falls.
This is a pretty chill hike, about a 5-mile long loop with roughly 1,500 feet of elevation gain, perfect for beginners and no prior hiking experience needed! AllTrails Link: https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/virginia/dark-hollow-and-rose-river-falls
