July 21 – 22 (Saturday – Sunday) Patterson Ridge Backpack Trip (SNP) (C/3)
Jenni Pendergrass (264-1633 or jennipendergrass@aol.com). We’ll start the hike with an ice cream stop after several miles at Loft Mountain Wayside and then descend Patterson Ridge Trail to camp at a great creek side site, for a total of about 5 easy miles. We’ll have time available for more hiking or enjoying the creek with its numerous swimming holes. Sunday we’ll be hiking about 4.5 miles with 1500 ft elevation gain and then a short road walk back to our cars. Great trip for beating the Richmond heat.
