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

Limberlost is wheelchair accessible

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.

Sorry to clarify, I mean wheelchair accessible. Idk the Covid status.

NP. Thanks for this!

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.

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.

OP here - I didn’t realize that. I thought Old Rag was really intense all the way through. That’s not the case?

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?
