Fall is the perfect time for hayrides - ride through forests, fields, and hills with a park ranger as your guide this October. Our ride will take you through the woods as the leaves change, then out into a meadow before we climb some of the park's highest points. With mountain views half of the ride, there's nowhere better to leaf peep along the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Pre-registration is required; there is a maximum of 20 people per program. Dress for the weather; expect cool and breezy evenings. Meet at Skyline Trail parking area and a ranger will greet you at the entrance to the Blue Hollow Campground. You can register or get more information by calling (540) 254-0795.
