Virginia’s natural beauty is available in countless ways, whether that be a 10-mile mountain trek or a peaceful woodland stroll. Sometimes the latter option is preferred, especially if you find yourself short on time or don’t feel prepared for a high-endurance hike.

Immersed in the dense woods, this easy and relatively accessible loop trail provides a sanctuary for hikers of all skill levels. Meandering along this trail, you’ll feel as though you’ve entered another world altogether.
