Shenandoah National Park…

We took another hike to Rose River Falls and this time we also went to Deep Hollow Falls.  As it turns out it might not have been a great idea to do both on the same day – at least not from the direction we hiked.  Our first hike was down to Rose River Falls, which we went to a couple of years ago.  This is a fairly easy 2.5 – 3 mile hike down to the falls and back from Skyline drive.  If you take the whole loop it will go by Deep Hollow Falls along the bottom of the canyon (this is about 5-6 mile for the whole loop).  We decided due to time and the possibility of bad weather we would just hike down Rose River and then drive to the parking area for Deep Hollow and drive from there – probably only a 2 mile hike down.  Unfortunately for us, the loop would have been much easier as the shorter hike from the Skyline drive to Deep Hollow was in fact quite deep and not for the faint of heart or knees.  Everyone was quite tired by the end of the day and some of us were complaining more than others but all in all everyone had a great time.
