Our Story

Valley Adventure Girls is a group of women who enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, kayaking, cross-country skiing, and rafting.  As women with these common interests, we often find ourselves in some of the most beautiful areas of nature.  At times, we simply enjoy the fresh air and peace of sitting next to a waterfall, or pushing ourselves to make it to the summit, and other times we enjoy the pulse-racing excitement that only a true adventure can bring.  This blog will allow us to share those experiences and hopefully encourage you to get out, share the sisterhood, and enjoy the great outdoors.

This year, we have set two goals.  The first goal is the hike 300 miles in 2014.  The second goal is to hike the top 20 hikes in or around Virginia according to this blog.

We started off the first day of this new year by reaching the first 5.13 miles of our 300 mile goal and marking one of the hikes off of the top 20 list.  That hike, Rose River Falls loop, will be reviewed in a separate post.

We thought that we would start reviewing the hikes,  to encourage others to go out and enjoy them.  We also thought it would be fun to rate them against the Virginia Trail Guide at the end of the year.  Some of the members have already done some of the hikes, but not everyone had so we thought it would be fun to do them again.  We hope you enjoy these reviews and would love comments, questions, and feedback.
