Parking Spot B: Hughes Gap
Meeting Spot: McDonald's in Colonial Heights

July Hike[edit]

Date: 7/23
Parking spot A: Hughes Gap
Parking Spot B: Yellow Mountain Gap Trail Head
Meeting Spot: McDonald's in Colonial Heights
Length: 12 mi
Min / Diff / Max Elevations: 4,057 / 2,233 / 6,290 ft
Ascending / Descending Change: 3,719 / -2,941 ft

Strict A.T. portion from Hughes Gap to the intersection of the Overmountain Victory Trail is 11.5 mi.

From there, we have two options. Take the longer hike on the Overmountain Victory Trail to Hampton, or the shorter one going down Roaring Valley to the southern trail head called Yellow Mountain Gap trail head.

  • Hampton connection
    • Trail length to A.T.: 3.65 mi
    • Drive time from meeting spot: 54 min
    • Drive time to Hughes Gap: 22 min
  • Yellow Mountain Gap connection
    • Trail length to A.T.: 0.78 mi
    • Drive time from meeting spot: 1h20m

August Hike[edit]

Date: 8/20
Parking spot A: Overmountain Victory Hampton Trail Head
Parking Spot B: 19E
Meeting Spot: McDonald's in Colonial Heights
Length: 8.75 mi A.T. - 12.4 mi with Trail Access
Min / Diff / Max Elevations: 2,892 / 2,697 / 5,589 ft
Ascending / Descending Change: 4,083 / -6,413 ft (OMVT to 19E)

Strict A.T. portion from connection with Overmountain Victory Trail to 19E is 8.75 mi.

To reach the A.T. near the barn, we have two options. Take the longer hike on the Overmountain Victory Trail to Hampton, or the shorter one going down Roaring Valley to the southern trail head called Yellow Mountain Gap trail head. The option leaning for on this trip is the trail head in Hampton.

    • Drive time to 19E: 16 min
