Our station at Bluemont is the final one of the hike. It is located at the Bluemont Park Pavilion. We need to man this station from about 4 PM – midnight, because the 50 mile hikers go around a two-mile loop several times to complete the hike. It’s really exciting to watch them finish up their 50 miles. Quite a feat! And we have fun hosting!
