What we’re about
I love hiking and adventuring outdoors and I love meeting new interesting people. I want to explore a lot of the day hikes in Shenandoah National Park and George Washington National Forest. This group will mostly consist of weekend day hikes and backpacking trips near Harrisonburg VA.
