About Our Section

Old Dominion Appalachian Trail Club

Our Section of the Appalachian Trail

The Club maintains a 19.6 mile section of the Appalachian Trail between Reed's Gap and Rockfish Gap (just south of Waynesboro, where I-64 crosses the Blue Ridge Parkway).  

We have completed a relocation that avoids the congestion at Humpback Rocks and intersects with the original section of the trail just south of there.

The original section of the Appalachian Trail is now a blue-blazed trail.  

You can hike a loop using it and the new section of the AT.  The high point is the view from Humpback Rocks, but the climb up (or down) to the rock on the blue-blazed trail is very steep.

Paul C. Wolfe Memorial Shelter

The Paul C. Wolfe Memorial Shelter was built by ODATC members in 1991.  It took approximately 30 people every weekend for two months to complete the shelter.  Materials were hauled two miles by hand and tractor.

Paul Wolfe was an avid outdoorsman who left a portion of his estate to the ATC for construction of the shelter.  The Wolfe family was present when the shelter was dedicated to Paul's memory in the fall of 1991.
 


The Jack Albright Trail

ODATC's new trail, which connects to the AT, was  dedicated with a ribbon cutting on September 17, 2005. The dedication, which was attended by Jack's family members and many ODATC members,  took place at the trailhead. Friends shared their memories  and The Old Crusty Minstrels played one of Jack's favorite tunes.  Followed by a picnic buffet,  a "champagne" toast was made in honor or Jack.
