Greetings to all Tuesday Hikers,
Looks like we are going to have a cool/ cooler day for Tuesday hiking after Labor Day Holiday.
Tuesday, September 2- Whiteoak Canyon and Hawksbill Mountain. (PATC Map 10) We will hike Whiteoak Canyon and Hawksbill Mountain. We will start at the Whiteoak Canyon Parking lot off Rte 600 (38.539463, -78.349023) and take the Whiteoak Canyon Trail to the AT and head south to the Salamander trail and to the top of Hawksbill. We go down the Hawksbill Trail and Cedar Run Trail back to the parking lot. (about 14 miles with 3,350 feet of elevation gain).
Short Cut is available as an option: Those wishing a little shorter hike may go right on the Limberlost Trail when Whiteoak Trail crosses it. And then left on the Crescent Rock trail to the AT (see orange line on map).
Meeting time at the WOC lower parking lot is 8:30 AM. Please let me know if you plan on attending.
TO CARPOOL: Hikers wishing to carpool should meet no later than 7:00 AM at the Centerville Park and Ride. Go West on Rt 29 taking the 2nd right into the parking lot area, then immediately turn left to the corner of the lot where our group gathers. Centreville Park and Ride:(See: Park and Ride - Centreville (Stone Road) | Connector (fairfaxcounty.gov))
Map is attached.
