EPIC 100 Bucket List
Welcome to the Shenandoah Valley's ultimate go-to guide, an epic list of memorable places.
Old Rag
The rewards are monumental but the journey to the summit of Old Rag is challenging and best suited for well-equipped, experienced hikers and scramblers. On the National Park Service hiking difficulty scale, it’s considered very strenuous.
Old Rag Mountain is such a popular destination in Shenandoah National Park – the most popular, actually – that a special day-use ticket is required to approach it. Plan to spend all day conquering this 9.5-mile circuit, which means packing in food and water, as well as packing out all your trash.
Pets are not allowed on this hike.
