It’s time to dust off those hiking boots and take them out for a spin. The Roanoke Parks and Recreation Department is hosting the Sunset on Sharp Top Hike, and you are invited to attend. This hike will take place on Aug. 25 from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m., and tickets are just $8. You’ll meet at the Public Works Service Center, where you’ll be transported to the starting location. Once there, you’ll embark on the Peaks of Otter hike. Get the details, and get ready to hike.
Sharp Top Hike
This is not an easy hike by any means, but if you’re up for the challenge, you absolutely cannot beat the view. The Sharp Top Hike is just 1.5 miles each way, but the terrain is difficult to traverse, so you need to be in pretty good shape to handle it. If you are, you will fall in love with the 360-degree views once you make it to the top. You will feel so peaceful as you watch the sunset from the top of the mountain. Nothing beats this.
You might be a little concerned about walking down the mountain after sunset, but the parks department will provide you with a headlamp. That will make it easy for you to see as you move down the path.
Also, there will be a hiking leader in attendance. He or she will help you along the way.
Spaces are Filling Up
Keep in mind that there are a limited number of spaces. Once they fill up, you won’t be able to register for the hike. Aug. 23 is the last day to register, but there might not be any spaces left by then. Register soon so you don’t miss out.
