16 miles AT hike: Pass Mountain-Rocky Branch-Neighbor Mountain

 

I hiked with several friends in the Shenandoah National Park for 16 miles with 3300 feet elevation gain along Appalachian Trail-Pass Mountain-Rocky Branch-Neighbor Mountain. The weather was cool and sunny, and a lot of flowers are blooming.

Unfortunately, one hiker was injured on a slippery rock and bailed out of the hike. We grouped later to stop at a winery after the hike, then one hiker accompanied the injured hiker to a clinic in town. He is fine but it takes time to recover.

I ran 4 miles after got home to complete my 20 hike/run miles weekend goal.
