HIKING + #SPORTS
Albemarle County is at the foot of the Appalachians and Shenandoah National Park. Take a stroll through Kemper Park or consider a hike up to Humpback Rocks if you’re feeling more adventurous . Check out Old Rag Mountain (for the pros), Humpback Rock (for the moderates) or the Monticello Trail (for the beginners). There are many great golf courses in the area to choose from. Perfect time of year for an early-morning or late-afternoon round.
