THE HIKE
Partner with us as we conquer 30 miles of the Shenandoah National Park, raising funds and awareness for Beauty for Ashes Women and Children's Home. This is an incredible opportunity to enjoy the natural beauty of the mountains while challenging your body, mind, and spirit.
This event started when Cindy and Josh Zello, along with friends, hiked the whole Appalachian Trail through Shenandoah National Park 7 years ago - 110 miles . The part of the park we have chosen to hike for the event is very enjoyable and has allowed more participants to join!
We are hiking three circuit type routes over the course of 3 days. Two of these routes are located in the Central Part of the Park while one is located in the Southern section of the park. The sites are staples in the Mid-Atlantic Blue Ridge Mountains, and the terrain is sure to challenge our minds, bodies, and spirits as we learn to work together.
