David Grimes at dvgrimes.54@gmail.com. This hike starts at the Old Rag parking area so we will meet early to accommodate the longer drive. The Hike has two stream crossings that may require over the boot wading with another ford before the trail starts to climb along Hannah Run. The trail passes several cabin ruins, abandoned apple orchards and rock walls associated with the Hazel Country settler community. The trail's steepest pitch is a 500 foot climb in 0.2 miles and is rough and rocky so wear appropriate foot gear on this hike. The hike is 9.9 miles - strenuous - Elev. change 2000 ft. This hike rates a B/2 on ODATC's scale due to length and difficulty - not quite an insanity hike but you should be in good shape to do this one never the less. In keeping with the Leave No Trace principles the hike is limited to 10. Please contact Dave to signup.
