Hiking

hat a great place to take a walk!

Blessed with an abundance of natural beauty, Central Virginia is flush with parks, trails and wilderness areas that beckon fitness buffs and nature lovers of all ages and experience levels, from families out for a stroll to experienced hikers eager for new sights and fresh challenges.

One way to get to know the region’s many hiking areas is through the Charlottesville chapter of the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club (PATC).

Club president Iva Gillet came here in 1981 to attend the University of Virginia and stayed for the area’s natural beauty, but it wasn’t until after a divorce in 2002 that she actually took up hiking: “I didn’t know what to do with myself because I didn’t have children,” she says today. “The PATC had these hikes; I started with five mile hikes and worked my way up. Then they said, ‘Do you want to lead hikes?’ and I said, ‘Ah, OK, I can try that.” I just love it. I really, really love the Blue Ridge Mountains.”

There is no better place to explore than the 75-mile long Shenandoah National Park with its 93,000 acres of designated wilderness crowned by Blue Ridge Mountain peaks that are over 400 million years old and were once some of the highest on Earth. On clear days, some overlooks afford views as far as from Washington, D.C. and West Virginia. “We like the hikes with high summits and really good views, and also wonderful waterfall hikes,” Gillet says, and who doesn’t? A wilderness walk can be a tonic for the soul – but so can a stroll through one of our many city and county parks.

turesque, cascading as it does down a series of rocks.

Old Rag Mountain With panoramic views, a challenging rock scramble, and a quick trip through a small cave, Old Rag Mountain loop is the most popular hike in the Shenandoah National Park and perhaps the entire mid-Atlantic region, attracting both casual and serious hikers. Getting up and down the 2,510 foot mountain takes about five and a half hours, with a half hour included for lunch. The steep rock scramble isn’t easy, and requires climbing through cracks in the rock. Expect to engage in hand over hand climbing at some points, and to hop over many rocks in the last 1/3 of a mile to the summit.

Also expect to feel sore the next day. No dogs allowed.

Old Rag Loop is “head and shoulders above any other trail within a two hour drive of Charlottesville,” says Chicago area native Jeff Monroe. Monroe should know. He moved here 22 years ago, fell in love with the mountains, and now leads hikes for the PATC, the Roanoke Appalachian Trail Club, and Scout Troop 1028. “My son is 15 – he doesn’t really like to go hiking because

Saunders-Monticello Trail Visitors to Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello have always enjoyed the short trek through the woods that leads from the South Lawn to the great man’s gravesite. In 2000 the Thomas Jefferson Foundation opened the Saunders-Monticello Trail, a relatively easy, 4.6 mile roundtrip trail open yearround and accessible from the parking lot just off Route 53. The scenic trail winds through Kemper Park with its arboretum of native trees and shrubs, over elevated boardwalks, and up the side of Carter Mountain past an overlook toward Monticello. A handsome stonearch bridge leads to the Monticello ticket office. With a maximum grade of only five percent, this trail attracts cyclists as well as walkers, and is accessible to people in wheelchairs.

Ivy Creek, Old Mills Trail, Rivanna Trail and Mint Springs The 215-acre Ivy Creek Natural Area borders the South Fork Rivanna Reservoir and boasts more than seven miles of walking trails through upland woods and pine stands, across fields and streams, and along two miles of shoreline. In hiker lingo, these trails have “little elevation change.” Translation: The landscape is pretty flat. No dogs, no jogging, no hunting and no collecting specimens allowed.

Elsewhere in Albemarle County, the three-mile long, wheelchair accessible

Old Mills Trail runs along the Rivanna River between Charlottesville’s Darden Towe Park and Martha Jefferson Hospital. The Rivanna Trail’s footpaths and greenways circumnavigate Charlottesville’s city limits, running in part along the western bank of the Rivanna River. The 520-acre Mint Springs Valley Park has three trails, 1.8 mile, .8 and .5 miles in length. Near to civilization as they are, these city and county parks are fine spots to enjoy fresh air, flora, and fauna, all the while – striding or sauntering – gradually working oneself into shape for the wilderness.

Dark Hollow and Rose River Falls Legend has it that Thomas Jefferson loved Dark Hollow Falls. True or not, the 1.4 mile roundtrip trail that descends 440 feet from Skyline Drive just north of the Big Meadows campground is one of the most popular trails in Shenandoah Park today. Just be prepared for the steep uphill return hike. “Dark Hollow is beautiful – you can see it from the top and then you can hike down and see it from the bottom,” Gillet says. “You walk a very short distance and you’re at the top of a stream that leads to a really awesome waterfall. The PATC often does a five-six mile loop trail where you get two waterfalls, Rose River Falls and then Dark Hollow Falls.” At only 67 feet, Rose River Falls is small but pic-

riprap trail

Crabtree Falls and Spy Rock

it’s something that his dad does all the time, but that’s the one hike that he always comes back to and says, ‘let’s do that one again.’”

But Old Rag is not for the reckless or the unprepared. “It’s a tough trail,” Monroe says. “Last time I was there, a helicopter pulled a hiker off the summit after he suffered a broken leg.” And he cautions that Old Rag’s popularity makes it a busy place at the height of the season. “Personally, that’s my favorite, but I like to go on a weekday,” he says. “If you go on a Saturday in late October, when the leaves are changing, you will be there with literally thousands of other people because it’s the go-to spot for everyone from Washington, D.C. who goes on one hike a year.” No dogs.

Hawksbill Summit

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

cludes several stream crossings, climbs 1,500 feet up to High Top Mountain, and takes even the hardiest of hikers about four hours to complete. The Fortune’s Cove trail is “a lovely but hard, five mile circle with substantial climbing in it,” Gillet says. “One section is super steep, so it’s not for everyone.”

Still, “the views are stunning. A hurricane washed away a whole town in that area and you can look down on it from the northern loop of that trail. There is also a radio tower you can go up to that has pretty incredible views.”

The 2.9 mile trail up to Hawksbill Summit leads to the highest peak in Shenandoah National Park at 4,049 feet, and “it gives you at least a 270 degree view,” Gillet says. “It has a stone area kind of patio with a wall around it. It’s right beside Old Rag, so the view to the east is Old Rag, and into the west the Shenandoah Valley. Last August we hiked up and watched the sun set on one side and the moon rise on the other. It was just stunning.” The three-sided Byrd’s Nest Day Shelter offers a place to rest near the summit.

Wildcat Ridge Trail and begin a gentle, 1500 foot-descent into Cold Stream Hollow. Winding through woods alongside a stream, the trail passes a 20-foot waterfall and a tall sandstone outcrop called Chimney Rock, before reaching Calvary Rock, the summit of Rocks Mountain. There are five stream crossings along the way.

Dogs are allowed. “I took Cub Scouts there a few years go,” Monroe remembers, “and the kids loved it. You walk through the woods for about a mile and a half and there is a little area where you can wade into the water.”

Humpback Rock Wagon trains navigating through the Blue Ridge in the 1840s knew to be on the lookout for Humpback Rock, a huge greenstone outcrop near the peak of Humpback Mountain. While a portion of that historic Howardsville Turnpike still exists, hikers today can find Humpback six miles south of Interstate 64 near the northern part of the Blue Ridge Parkway. The trail

up the rock attracts folks looking for a challenge – it rises just 740 vertical feet, but takes just a mile to do it. “It’s a hard half hour hike up to the top, but the view is just spectacular,” Monroe says. “That’s one of the first hikes that I did when I moved here 22 years ago, and I still do it all the time.”

The 360 degree view at the 3,080 feet summit encompasses Shenandoah National Park to the north, neighboring farms to the east, Shenandoah Valley to the west, and woods and mountain ridges of the George Washington National Forest to the southwest. The nearby, mile-long Mountain Farm Trail, accessible through the parking lot at the Visitor Center, winds through a recreated 1890s farm with a single-room log cabin and outbuildings typical of the late nineteenth century.

Fortune’s Cove Just north of Lovingston in Nelson County is a 755-acre preserve situated within a 29,000 acre forest. Within the Cove is a 5.5-mile loop trail that in-

Dropping 1200 feet in just a half a mile, spectacular Crabtree Falls in the George Washington National Forest in Nelson County is the highest waterfall in the state and one of the highest east of the Mississippi. Actually, Crabtree is a series of falls, five major and several minor, on Crabtree Creek, which flows into the Tye River. The tallest of these individual falls drops 400 feet. “Crabtree Falls is a great one assuming that you follow the directions,” Monroe says. “We get a notice in the paper every year about somebody that wanders off and slips. You have to be careful and stay on the trail.”

A few miles up Route 56 near Montebello is Spy Rock, a massive boulder overlooking lower Albemarle and Nelson County, said to have been a Confederate lookout during in the Civil War. The steep and rocky mile and a half long trail begins at a fish hatchery, rises 1260 feet, and includes a short scramble up a rock face, but offers panoramic views from the top. “It’s a 360 degree view from there,” Monroe says. “It looks out over a great, vast area of the national forest and it’s really a beautiful view.” n City-loving, country-avoiding Woody Allen famously describes himself as “two with nature.” But Woody’s probably never seen the Blue Ridge. Urban animals who’ve seen the Blue Ridge and want to go there can work themselves up to a real hike with a short walk down the 796.51 aisle of any branch of the Jefferson-Madison Regional Library, for guidebooks, advice and inspiration. Happy Trails.

Raising Your Home’s

RESALE VALUE

BY CELESTE M. SMUCKER, PHD

H

ome owners preparing to sell their house often ask what repairs they should do to make it more saleable without spending more than they will get back at closing. Several variables such as the seller’s motivation, budget and time frame impact this decision. However, there are some general guidelines that apply to most situations.

The importance of first impressions can’t be over emphasized. This means spend time on the exterior including the house and the yard to improve your curb appeal. Roger Voisinet, with RE/MAX Realty Specialists, advises sellers to fix anything obviously in need of repair. “Never give the buyer the impression that there is deferred maintenance,” he said. This means fix gutters, paint as needed and check the roof to see if it would benefit from power washing.

Replacing the front door can also be a good investment. In the 2014 edition of Remodeling Magazine’s annual report on which repairs recoup the most at closing, the installation of a new steel entry door was at the top of the list recouping 101.8 percent of its cost nationwide and 112 percent in our South Central region; one of the few repairs that benefitted from this kind of return. Overall, the average return on renovations from kitchen remodels to siding replacement was just over 62 percent of cost.

A big part of exterior maintenance is keeping the lawn mowed and any beds mulched and edged. If shrubs are overgrown, trim them well and be sure they are lower than the windows to let in more light. Often people overlook tree maintenance, Voisinet explained. Not only can this negative-

Good landscaping

can increase a home’s value from as much as 5 percent to over 11 percent. Not only that, it is one of the few home investments that increases in value over time since, if landscaping is well maintained, it improves as it matures.

ly impact the look of the house but may cause buyers to back away fearing the cost of professional tree service. He described a $500,000 home where the sellers had never once maintained the trees, something that when done correctly can better frame the house and show it to advantage.

On the other hand, there are locations where trees may be beneficial to screen your home. Loring Woodriff of Loring Woodriff Real Estate Associates said, “many consumers are sensitive to road visibility,” and she often advises prospective sellers to take this into consideration when investing in landscaping.

Overall, depending on when you are planning to sell, landscaping can be one of the best investments you can make in your home. Studies have shown that good landscaping can increase a home’s value from as much as 5 percent to over 11 percent. Not only that, it is one of the few home investments that increases in value over time since, if landscaping is well maintained, it improves as it matures. Contrast that to carpet or other common updates that can wear out and/or become outdated after a few years.

Advice about deferred maintenance also applies to the home’s interior where fixing items like leaky faucets or dings in the walls or woodwork can go a long way towards giving your buyer a feeling of comfort about the overall state of repair of the home. “Sellers should think like buyers,” Voisinet advises. He added that those who can empathize with the buyers do the best job of preparing their home for sale.

When it comes to the interior, “buyers make their minds up as soon as

their foot crosses the threshold,” Woodriff said. She tells her clients, when prioritizing the tasks that need to be done, they should start at the entry and work from there back, giving lowest priority to areas of the home furthest from the front door.

“If the systems are working fine, spend money on cosmetics,” Woodriff advises. Of course if you know your heat pump is about to go, or that the roof leaks, they will need to be fixed.

Your buyer will almost certainly do a home inspection that will uncover these issues. At best they may ask you to repair them anyway, and at worst major repairs may cause them to back out of the contract.

Both agents emphasized the importance of doing what it takes to have your home smell good. People living in the home get “smell fatigue,” Voisinet said and miss odors coming from mold, resident animals, or smoke.

He has had buyers with allergies who wouldn’t walk in the door if there were a hint of odor.

Another critical task is to clear out all the clutter and invest in a storage unit if needed to remove as much excess stuff as possible. “Homes show best spare,” Woodriff said. It’s also important to clean the windows and open the drapes letting in as much light as possible. Voisinet also advises sellers to invest in higher wattage and brighter bulbs such as LEDs. For the best advice on raising the value of your home, contact your REALTOR® who can help choose the repairs that make the most sense in your situation. n Celeste Smucker is a writer and blogger who lives near Charlottesville.
