✨A Top Hike in Virginia✨ 📌SAVE for future trip planning 💎 A fun family & kid friendly hike. Bikes, strollers & pets are welcomed too! 🥾Hike Details: - 2.3 miles out and back - 2 parking lots to choose from: east & west entrances - constructed between 1850 - 1858 - train tunnel was abandoned for many years as a new larger one was built for larger more modern trains on the tracks right next to this one - it was made into a park for everyone to enjoy! 🚨Insider TIPS: - Bring a headlamp or flash light to be able to see inside of the tunnel and explore inside the mountain - Glow sticks are fun to bring for kids - Bring a jacket as it is 50° inside the tunnel year round 🗑 Please leave it better than you found it and dispose of all trash properly. 📌Blue Ridge Tunnel 📍Afton, Virginia 👉🏼FOLLOW @rvahikergirl for more outdoor inspo! #virginiahikes #visitvirginia #charlottesville #virginiamountains #blueridgetunnel #traintunnel #virginiatravel #virginiahiking
