Day 8 - Monday, April 6, 2015
12.5 miles
At 7:45 we started hiking. We went around the mountain and reached Three Ridges parking overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Then a steep uphill to Maupin Field Shelter where we stopped at 10:00 for coffee and a Clif Bar. We refilled our empty water bottles from the spring there.
We enjoyed an awesome view from Hanging Rock.
We had heard bad rumors about Three Ridges and I guess they are true. However, we had a decided advantage by approaching them from the north. We rather enjoyed it. Going down was steep though, going from an elevation of 3870 to a mere 950 at Tye River.
Kathy was waiting for us at Tye River to take us back to Waynesboro.
