A couple of weeks ago, we stayed in PATC's Lambert Cabin on the west side of Shenandoah National Park with the group we volunteer with. On Sunday, after a late night, four of us decided to get the blood flowing by hiking up Crusher Ridge Trail to Skyline Drive. The cabin is nearly on the park boundary, so getting to the trailhead just involved a short walk up the road. From there, it was a quiet, winding climb up the ridge following old road beds. There were still a few leaves on the trees and it was a perfect fall day. On Skyline Drive, we walked a few hundred feet down to the Stony man overlook for our only clear view of the day. Aside from at the overlook, the only person we saw was the PATC trail maintainer.
