We are headed to Sperryville, VA and would like to do a bit of hiking. The members of our family are not big hikers, so we are looking "easy" hikes or walks. Any suggestions? |
I think you do as much or as little of Old Rag as you'd like and it will be perfect. |
OP here - I didn’t realize that. I thought Old Rag was really intense all the way through. That’s not the case? |
Are you going up into the park? There are several short easy trails near the Thornton gap entrance. Limberlost is one that I know is accessible, so it’s wide and flat all the way and short. |
White Oak Canyon trail |
Sorry to clarify, I mean wheelchair accessible. Idk the Covid status. |
Go into Shenandoah and do Stony Man https://www.nps.gov/thingstodo/stony-man.htm
I wouldn’t recommend doing part of Old Rag and turning around. The part you cover would be kind of boring. |
NP. Thanks for this! |
This is a great suggestion. My initial thought was - no way, that one is really hard. BUT the first mile or so is pretty flat and along the water and lovely. Also,easy to get to from Sperryville. |
Limberlost is wheelchair accessible

Old Rag is not an easy hike and is only really worth it once you get to a certain elevation. |
