Older Girl Scouts may enjoy this hike. For hikers who just want to enjoy their time outdoors and trek on. This hike will be moderately paced. We will meet at the High Point Trailhead each month and take a long 3.5-5-mile hike on a variety of trails. These trails are not stroller- or wheelchair-friendly. There will be some slight elevation changes and exposed roots along packed dirt trails. Most hikes will not be loops, so we will hike to the observation point and return the same way. Sturdy shoes, hiking sticks, bug repellent, and water are highly recommended for all hikes. Participants must be able to hike 3-5 miles at a moderate pace. Please register for this event by calling the Visitor Center at 703-339-2385.
