Virginia Blue Ridge Railway Trail - South of Charlottesville B/4
Ted McGarry (218-1238) This is my annual ODATC hike on this rails-to-trail adaptive reuse of the former railroad bed about 2 hours west of Richmond in the foothills of Nelson County. The Trail has a 100 foot elevation change and the scenic Piney and Tye River valley views are best seen before foliage appears. This is an out and back hike for a total of about 10 miles or a minimum of 4 hours. Bring water and lunch for the trail. A porta potty is available at the trailhead. Return afternoon stop at the Colleen Dairy Bar. Carpool from Rockville Park and Ride I-64 West Exit 173. Directions via Route 60 from Chesterfield are available by email. You may phone me between Sunday March 25 and Thursday March 28 to go on this trip and be a current ODATC member. www.traillink.com/trail/virginia-blue-ridge-railway-trail.aspx
