Bill Tennant (Willyten10@aol.com or 282-0590) This is hike #21 in the PATC’s “Circuit Hikes in Shenandoah National Park”. We walk along the ridges of both Brown and Rocky mountains with great views, then descend to a nice lunch spot on the water at Big Run. We cross Big Run a few times, then climb back up to Skyline Drive. At 2100 feet of elevation change and 10.1 miles, it’s not a beginner’s hike, but a manageable hike for those who want to get some exercise and enjoy the views. Can’t tell in advance about the water level of Big Run so you might want to bring creek shoes and be prepared to wade up to ankle depth if necessary. Contact Bill for meeting location and time.
