Turk Branch-Moormans River – Shenandoah National Park B/2
Bill Tennant (282-0590 or Willyten10@aol.com). This popular hike is # 31 in the PATC Circuit Hikes in the SNP Guide. The 10.0 mi. hike includes an elevation change of 2730 ft (with an option to cut it to 2000 ft by not climbing Turk Mtn). The circuit hike starts at Jarman Gap, descends on the Moormans River Road along the South Fork of Moormans River then climbs Turk Branch Trail and returns on the Appalachian Trail. Western Vistas from the top of Turk Mountain are some of the best in the Shenandoah National Park. Bring your National Park Pass if you have one. Contact Bill for time and meeting place.
