Description:
|
Chimney Hollow Trail winds through a portion of the Crawford Mountain Roadless Area in George Washington National Forest. A 7 mile round trip of moderate difficulty starts at 2000 feet with a gradual ascent through Chimney Hollow ravine, an area once rich in hemlocks, now dominated by white pine and laurel. The trail ascends toward Coalpit Knob, affording several opportunities for good views. The trail ends when it joins Crawford Mountain trail at just over 3500 feet elevation. If time permits, we can bushwhack to the top of Coalpit Knob.
Meet at the trail head at 10:00am. Travel 18.4 miles on Rt. 250 West of Staunton. The trail head is on the left (south) side of Rt. 250. Park alongside the road. If you pass the brown forest sign for Braley Pond, you have missed the trail head.
Bad weather will cancel this trip so please check in with leader Chris Bowlen, 540-289-6801 or bowlenchris@comcast.net, by Feb 6.
