Come to church with me Sunday, May 1 - Bear Church Rock. This hike is about 5 miles each way out and back through mountain forests, with a great view point at the turn around point. There is about 2,800 feet elevation gain and loss, with a lot of up and down. The last time I did this hike, I actually did see two young black bears, but no guarantees! We will meet at 7:30 at the Rockville park and ride ( Manakin (exit - 173 - on the north side of I-64 Park and Ride at exit 173 on I-64), and carpool to the trailhead, leaving the Park and Ride at 7:45.
