James River Loop Trail…………………………….………C/3

This is a great hike with very little driving. We hike along the new mountain bike/ hiking trail north of the James, either through or behind Maymont, circuit Belle Island and then along the Buttermilk Highlands (“a bit of the AT right here in Richmond’) on the south side of the James, cross the “nickel” bridge and back to the cars. There is quite a bit more up and down then you would expect here, so come check it out. NOTE: this is not a flat land hike and it is about 8 miles. It also has some areas that can be slippery especially if wet. If you have email please use it to sign up and put the hike name in the subject line; it makes it easier for me to keep track (me lazy, naw just delegate well).
