Taking A Hike
Took a hike on the Skyline Drive last Saturday with a close friend, it was the best because the sky was clear the air was cool and the trail was tough. A friend said many people who take the Riffrap trail fall on the ruff rocks which line the floor of the trail. Needless to say, we didn't fall but we did see a wonderful scene at the top of the overlook. The Riffrap trail is on mile ninety of the Skyline Drive and even though it is only three or so miles from the road, it can take a while to climb because there are a number of steep assents and descents on the trail to the overlook. Once we came back we felt good, the air was clean and cool. We could see far into the Shenandoah valley below us. It was a beautiful trip. All together it may have taken four hours of our time from the time we left Charlottesville. It's really wonderful to have such a nice resource right hear outside of our city.
