I went hiking with my brother on the Old Rag trail in Shenandoah National Park. The trail is roughly 9 miles, including about a mile of rock scrambling. It's pretty challenging, and requires hand over hand climbing over rocks and through narrow passages. I love this trail, and the rock scramble is my favorite part. It's so fun to climb and jump around on the rocks.
We did the whole trail in a little over 4 hours. I think we only stopped for 30 minutes for lunch, and didn't take many breaks. I kept a pretty fast pace, but I was still surprised that we completed it so fast.
It was quite a view from the top.
That must be fun! I am not much of a hiker but seeing these pics and reading your post is motivating :)
