About This Event:
- A highlight of the Greenbrier River Trail is the 402-foot long Droop Mountain Tunnel located at Mile Marker 30.9. Trail access is about one mile before the tunnel. Hike at your own pace, but plan on walking for 2-3 hours total. Hiking/walking will be easy, as this is a nationally-known rail trail with no more than a 4% grade over its entire length. The tunnel is DARK, so bring a flashlight. Also bring snacks and water. Meet at the Hollowell Park lot on GMS Drive in Lewisburg at 9:00 a.m. to carpool/caravan. A small contribution for gas ($2-$3) is appreciated but not necessary. Whether you plan to meet there or at the trailhead, contact the leader ON THIS PAGE ahead of time for planning. Parking is limited at the trailhead so all participants must contact the leader in advance. Depending on number of hikers, additional drivers may be needed. Here is the FB page:

We may stop somewhere in Lewisburg for a late lunch and fellowship after the hike, but that is not necessary!
