Hi Philmont 2021 Crew!

For our 2nd scheduled training hike, we will be hiking Loudoun Heights to Split Rock. (https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/west-virginia/loudoun-heights-trail-to-split-rock)

We will meet at Trailside Middle School at 7:00am and head to the trail at 7:15am.  

It will take about 45 minutes to reach the trailhead and the hike will be a moderate 6 mile out and back, with an elevation gain of about 1,482 feet.  

Please bring a backpack and plan to carry about 25% of what your fully loaded pack would weigh.  (If you weight 100 pounds, a fully loaded pack should be a max of 30% of your body weight, or 30 pounds.  25% would be about 7.5 pounds.). 

Please bring snacks, water and a bag lunch to eat on the trail.  We should return to Trailside Middle School by 2:00pm.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me at eanderson@tollbrothers.com..
