Looking for a fun and approachable way to experience backpacking? Join us for a two-day, one-night adventure on the Appalachian Trail, perfect for beginners who want to challenge themselves while enjoying the beauty of nature. This moderate 5-mile (round trip) hike begins just north of Shenandoah National Park, where the trail passes under I-66 and ventures into the G. Richard Thompson Wildlife Management Area before reaching our overnight stop at the Manassas Gap Shelter.
The route is beginner-friendly but offers a rewarding challenge with a steady climb at the start, gaining over 1,000 feet in elevation. Along the way, we’ll take a break at Barringer Point Lookout, where a wooden bench provides the perfect spot to enjoy the view. Whether you're new to backpacking or looking for a relaxed overnight trip, this is a great opportunity to build confidence, learn new skills, and connect with a supportive group of fellow hikers.
If you're ready to lace up your boots, carry a pack, and spend a night under the stars, this trip is for you!
