Three Ridges-Mau-Har Loop

---

13.5 miles, Moderate terrain
70 miles from Roanoke, $7.00 carpool fee

Located in Virginia’s newest Wilderness Area, the hike takes us on trails built and maintained by the Tidewater AT Club. It’s a “balloon hike”, starting and ending where the AT crosses Route 56 and the Tye River. After 1.7 miles on the A.T., we branch off onto the Mau-Har Trail, which takes us past a lovely waterfall and along a creek up to the Maupin Fields Shelter. Then we continue climbing on the A.T. to the summit of Three Ridges, with lots of great views, then down past the Harpers Creek shelter, up to the ridge, and back down to the Tye River.
