Afterward we can visit Blue Ridge Mountain Brewery or another venue for dinner. This is not a race or incredibly fast hike but most participants are from the running community. Thus a moderate hiking pace is necessary to be able to complete both hikes and enjoy the views all before Sun down. Hikers have the option of doing just the Crabtree Falls hike if they wish to finish earlier or go at a more leisurely pace. Of course the entire plan can be changed to suit the group. What's most important is that we hike, enjoy the changing leaves and enjoy some Virginia craft brew.
