Description

If you are coming from the Old Rag parking lot, head straight on this road for 2.5 miles. Around the halfway point you'll pass two trails off to your right which climb Robertson Mountain.

This road is pretty straightforward and marked with yellow blazes. You'll occasionally pass runoff streams, especially after precipitation events.

Did this one with the puppers so we moved slow. She only gets credit for 5.6 miles though cause she made me carry her the last mile. Super easy. 6.6mi — 5h 30m
