After the hike, our Civil War expert will conduct his usual raffle of Civil War memorabilia. With six towering waterfalls, each more than 40 feet high, White Oak Canyon is one of Shenandoah s premier attractions. We ll see all six on both linear that start on Route 600 at the bottom of the canyon. The uniquely routed long hike goes up the White Oak Canyon Trail and then, using the White Oak Canyon Fire Road and the Corbin Hollow Trail, descends a second splendid canyon-Corbin Hollow. Return is on the Weakley Hollow and Berry Hollow Fire Roads.
Short hikers take a shorter route.
Our long, level leg-stretcher on one of the most scenic stretches of the towpath starts at the charming train station at Point of Rocks and heads westward to historic Harpers Ferry. Along the way there will be constant views of the adjacent Potomac River as it slices through two mountain ranges. The short hike starts at Brunswick. This is your chance to hike the other two sections. All hikers use the towpath to return.
