PAW PAW TUNNEL NATIONAL PARK HIKE

paw%20paw.jpg

-

The Paw Paw Tunnel is 3,118 feet long and is lined with over six million bricks. The 3/4 mile long tunnel saved the canal builders almost six miles of construction along Paw Paw bends of the Potomac River. It took twelve years to build and was only wide enough for single lane traffic. We must bring flashlights for this hike through this historic tunnel built in the early 19th century.

10/12 Horseback Riding with barbecue lunch

horseback.JPGCelebrate the fall in the Blue Ridge Mountain foothills as you saddle up, Western style, for a fun trail ride with mountain vistas on the ranch, with cool creeks and long horn cattle roaming the plains.

We begin our day as we saddle up for our trail ride adventure on our 4500 acre ranch with incredible Summer vistas of meadows and woodlands and gently rolling streams. Vistas of the ranch's longhorn cattle grazing on the hillsides will be visible. The majesty of summer in the nearby foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains are a sight to see.

No riding experience is necessary....just a glowing desire for fun and adventure.
