    Right now, the plan is to head south. Plan to rent a car drive to Front Royal, then get a ride to the trailhead. Hike out in about 10 days and get picked up for the ride home.

    I agree, I am hitting the park on the 25th end to end and can't wait to get out. Hopefully, the weather will be better. Good to know that water shouldn't be a problem. Let us know how it goes for you!

    Thanks guys. I was hoping to hear that. Looks like a nice hike, the interactive map at the ATC looks pretty nice. I have spent time in the park before, just not end to end at once.

    Colors?! Wow, I LOVE mine, but sometimes wish it were a tad larger although that wish evaporates quickly as soon as the trail begins going up!
