Dana and I decided on a whim Friday night that we wanted to go hiking. A friend of ours suggested Old Rag Mountain, which is a part of the Shenandoah National Park. Well, we got ourselves into a little more than we bargained for. The trail is about 7 miles. However, it’s a mile walk, uphill of course, from the parking lot to the start of the trail. Then, once you finish the trails. It’s another 2.5 mile walk back to the parking lot, because you come down on the opposite side of the mountain than you start on. So, 10.5 miles and about 5 hours after we started, we had conquered Old Rag Mountain.
It’s definitely one of the most fun and most difficult things I’ve done physically. We literally had to climb boulders in the middle of the path.

Brandon,
I enjoyed the pictures. My Grandad used to walk Old Rag once every year until the last couple of years. Its something that I’ve always wanted to do and it looks like you picked the perfect time of year to do it.
