BIPOC Women Hikers of Central Virginia

Let's hit the trail together for a beautiful fall Hike to Crabtree Falls!

Date: Saturday December 14th
Meeting Time: 9:30 AM
Location: Crabtree Falls Trailhead, Virginia (about 2 hours from Richmond)
Distance: ~3.6 miles round trip
Difficulty: Moderately Strenuous (It's about 1.7 mile uphill to the top, then we retrace our steps down)
Other: Bring $3 cash to pay the day-use fee

We’ll hike alongside Crabtree Falls, one of the most stunning waterfalls in the region, with plenty of scenic viewpoints to stop, catch our breath, and take in the views. It’s a moderate hike with steps and steep spots, but the waterfall will be alongside us most of the hike and it's nothing we can’t handle! Once we reach the top, we’ll relax, take photos, and enjoy a light snack.

After the hike, we’ll head to Lovingston Winery (885 Freshwater Cove Ln.
Lovingston, VA 22949) for lunch (they have pizza or bring your own lunch).

This is going to be a laid-back and fun day outdoors, with great company and a beautiful trail. We'll take our time getting to the top! Whether you're here for the hike, the views, or the wine, it's sure to be a fantastic time.

We’ll explore 4.5 miles of scenic trails on the Little Flat Mountain Loop at the Patricia Ann Byron Forest Park Preserve in Crozet, Virginia. With 1,237 feet of elevation gain, this hike offers just the right amount of challenge to keep us warm while taking in the peaceful beauty of the season.

This hike is moderately strenuous, mainly due to the uphill to reach the Gibson Mountain Overlook. With the leaves off the trees we should be able to experience some nice mountain views!

• Distance: 4.5 miles
• Elevation Gain: 1,237 feet
• Location: Patricia Ann Byron Forest Park Preserve,
