Six hiking options within 10 to 75 minutes of Scott Stadium were highlighted for fans heading to Virginia’s Week 0 game against NC State in Charlottesville on Aug. 29.
The guide became relevant after the matchup was moved from Rio de Janeiro, where it had been slated as college football’s first game in South America before organizer Athlete Advantage said it could not stage the event.
Closest picks include the free 4.4-mile Saunders-Monticello Trail, the 4.6-mile Blue Ridge Tunnel walk and Shenandoah National Park via Rockfish Gap, which charges $30 per vehicle.
Farther afield, the list points fans to Sugar Hollow’s Blue Hole, the steep Humpback Rocks climb and Crabtree Falls—60 to 75 minutes away with a $3 day-use fee—for those turning the game into a weekend trip.
