Old Rag Mountain

Saturday, September 21, 2019
Today I hike the Old Rag Mountain Loop. I did not complete this hike. I should have done more research before attempting this hike. Two miles into the hike is a rock scramble. It listed the hike as very strenuous.  This is the first time I've seen very strenuous as underestimated. Since I was practicing for hiking the Appalachian Trail, I had a full backpack complete with all gear. I don't know whether I would have tried this hike with a daypack but definitely not with a 32 lb pack.  Not a lot of miles only 4.1 round trip. However elevation change was 3500 feet. A great hike to practice for the Appalachian Trail. One day I would like to try this with my sons.
