Tom and I went hiking with the
Charlottesville Hiking Meetup Group to Shenandoah National Park. We started at the west side of the park near Grottoes and ascended Paine Run Fire Road to Blackrock Gap, and returned along Trayfoot Mountain Trail. Average temperatures 35-45 with some snow at Trayfoot Mt. and
hoar frost at Blackrock Gap. A bit cold and breezy the whole hike. Lunch was fast and we finished in 5 hours. Total distance was 10 miles and overall elevation change was 2000'.

Early season snow was beautiful on the colored leaves along the Trayfoot Mountain Trail. From Trayfoot

Overall this was one of my favorite hikes in many months due to the changing leaves and weather. Trayfoot Mountain Trail descending into Lefthand Hallow was particularly beautiful with rock formations and overlooks.
