Turk Mountain Hike

OVERVIEW

Not skiing this weekend, but still want to get outside? Then come along on this moderately-strenuous hike in the southern section of the Shenandoah National Park. Turk Mountain is a 10-mile circuit hike that consists of 2400 feet of elevation gain, but offers great views as a reward.

Sunday’s forecast in Charlottesville is mid-30s and partly sunny, so be sure to dress warmly!
