Well, the weekend is shaping up to be pretty nice with temps in the 70's and only partly cloudy. My good friend, Jay, and I had talked about hiking and he had mentioned the White Oak Canyon/Cedar Run Loop in the Shenandoah National Park. I had been eying that hike also, and started looking at it again. I have been hoping to get back to the Shenandoah national Park for some time now. At about 8 miles with over 2400 ft. elevation gain, it is a fairly substantial hike. I am, however, looking for more length, so I plan on continuing up the mountain to Limberlost trail and cutting over on the Crescent Rock Trail. This will then join to the Cedar Run Trail heading back down the mountain side. This venue will add some summit views as well, a good combo with the abundant waterfalls on this hike. It should add 2 to 3 miles or so to the hike. With the amount of water nearby, I can reduce the amount I carry as my water filter will be back on line then. Jay may accompany me on this outing. We have not hiked together in awhile, and it would be great to get out with him again. I can't wait for this hike!
