This historic loop hike leads visitors over the landscape where on a warm July day in 1861, the newly formed Union and Confederate armies clashed for the first time. The trail begins at the Visitor Center and goes through forested areas, meanders through farm fields and woods. We climb a few gentle hills and cross a small stream or two. Depending on previous precipitation, trails could be muddy in spots. There are two Rt. 29 road crossings. Hike elevation gain is about 360 feet.

**Note:** You might wish to go to the visitor center, post-hike, to view exhibits featuring artifacts related to the First and Second Battles of Manassas as well as a 6-minute electronic map showing the troop movements during the first battle (our hike!). Henry Hill Visitor Center hours are 9 am - 5 pm.
