Family Hike on the Blue Ridge Parkway
Sponsored by Friends of the Blue Ridge Parkway
All ages
|
Guided Family Hike
Join volunteers from Friends of the Blue Ridge Parkway Humpback Rocks Chapter for a family friendly hike and exploration of the Appalachian Trail. Families will meet at the picnic area of Humpback Rocks where children will make their own trail mix for the hike. We will then have the chance to interact with pelts of animals native to the area, including a bear! The hike will be a casual paced adventure giving families the opportunity to explore and learn about the the AT. We will learn about hiking safety and etiquette along the way. At the peak we will rest, have a snack and story and enjoy a gorgeous panoramic view of the Shenandoah Valley. |
