Grad Life Outdoor Adventure: Billy Goat Trail Hike

Graduate Outdoor Adventures: Billy Goat Trail Hike

Saturday, Oct. 14, 2017, 8:00am-4:00pm
Meet at Skyline Fitness Center 30 minutes prior to event begin time.

Come join us on a hike along the cliff-top Billy Goat Trail in Potomac, Maryland! Just a short distance away from Mason, this is a great introduction to hiking trips with Outdoor Adventures and a great way to see the natural beauty just a short drive from campus. The hike has minimal elevation change (very little up and downhill) but is quite rocky and rugged in spots, requiring the use of your hands for some scrambles. The hike will be between 5-7 miles depending on the group’s wishes and timing. Be sure to bring your camera!

Due to limited capacity and expected demand, we ask that you register for the event only if you are sure that you will be able to attend and participate. Please see our cancellation and waitlist policy on the Graduate Life Outdoor Adventures webpage.

When/Where: Meet at Skyline Fitness Center on the Fairfax Campus at 8am. We will drive to the trail, hike, eat lunch along the trail, and return to campus around 3-4pm.
