Corner Of Echols Dorm
Spy Rock, Virginia, USA
It’s been quite long since I’ve been on a good ol’ day hike, so what better way to put off studying for my two exams this week than walking on crunchy leaves in the mountains?
We’ll be hiking up to spy rock, which is about an hour/hour and half away from grounds. I’ve never done it or heard of it before, but apparently it has great 360 views at the top and is moderately strenuous. The hike is around 6 miles, with 1 mile to and from the parking lot to trailhead (~ 7 miles total). There’s a decent amount of elevation gain and some optional rock scrambling at the top! That being said, we’ll make sure to take breaks and keep a slow pace so that everyone can keep up.
