We went from Elizabeth Furnace to Buzzard Rock and back, in the Massanutten mountains, near the Shenandoah. No leaves on the trees yet, so there were views most of the hike. It was hot, and we drank a ton of water. I was carrying about 4 gallons to add weight to my pack, and we drank almost 3 liters each. 42 pound pack at the start of the hike and 29 pounds at the end.

8 miles round trip with a 2,000 foot elevation gain. Took our time. 7 hours. Beautiful hike and we only saw two other people.
