Weekend Backpacking, Ramsey’s Draft Wilderness, VA

Leader: Steve Palermo (H: 302/478-3070, E: ). The Ramsey’s Draft section of the George Washington National Forest has pockets of virgin forest, scenic views, and beautiful streams. We will do an 18-20 mile loop in 3 days of hiking. Beginners are welcome, but everyone on the hike will have to be in good shape. There will be hills, rocks, and some stream crossings. But we will hike at an easy pace. We will have the option of leaving Thursday night and car camping to get an early start on Friday. Or we can leave early Friday morning to get there with enough time to hike to camp on Friday (around 6 miles). We can decide on the option once we know who is coming. Contact Steve for further details and to sign up for the trip.
