Description: Trillium Hike, Thompson Wildlife Management Area, VA
BUS Hike
The Linden area is noted for having one of the greatest concentration of trilliums in the nation and indeed globally. Many other wildflowers will be in bloom alongside them at this time of year. Long hikers start at Manassas Gap, and follow the AT north past Manassas Gap Shelter and the junction with Verlin Smith Trail to continue on the AT to a point just south of Dicks Dome Shelter. Here they turn right and follow Verlin Smith Trail around Lake Thompson and to parking area #4 and the waiting bus. Moderate hikers begin at parking area #4 and complete a circuit by joining the path of the long hikers.
Est.: 12 miles, 1600' elevation and 9 miles, 1000' elevation.
PATC Map 8. Fare: $30.
