We will be meeting at the Hardee's restaurant in Pearisburg before the hike. The Hardee's is located at 528 N. Main Street, zip code 24134. The telephone number for the Hardee's is (540) 921-3503.
We will be leaving the Hardee's at 8:00 AM sharp for the trailheads. Please plan on arriving earlier for breakfast and directions.
Two of us did this hike in the reverse direction from the original plans. This put us finishing at the Falls of Dismal Creek instead of starting there. Better to get wet feet at the end rather than the beginning. Also made the shuttle easier.

This hike took us 3 hours and 48 minutes.
