Raccoon Mtn.

Today there were 11 hikers plus one dog.  The hike was about five miles in length and every one did well until near the end when there was an uphill climb in the sun.  At the end of the climb everyone needed a rest including the dog.  I would rate this hike as moderate.  If you would like to see a bunch of pictures, click here or on the Raccoon Mtn. tab above.

Heiss Mtn. 8.8.15

This hike started at Jones Gap Rand with the hikers following the fence line for about a mile until they reached the woods. It was a cool morning for a change and they hiked a total of about eight miles.  It would have only been seven miles but the took a one mile side trip.  I would rate this hike as moderate.  If you would like to see one additional picture of a hiker, click here or on the Heiss Mtn. tab above.
