Though the tip is far from the highest point in the Blue Ridge Mountains\, Old Rag is unique for its rocky summit and difficult terrain\, which includes long stretches of bare rock that bear a closer resemblance to the rugged peaks of Yosemite than anything else you’ll find in Virginia.  This is a fun but challenging hike that is great for adults! \nCOST  \n$125 per hiker  \n* Van transportation will pick up and drop off from the Vienna South Metro Park & Ride located at 9550 Saintsbury Dr. Fairfax\, VA 22031 \n* Van will depart at 5:00am and return by 6:30pm \n* Park entrance fee & day-use ticket included \n* Hike guides provided (premium hike) \n$60 per hiker  \n* Hikers will provide their own transportation to the Old Rag Boundary Lower Parking Lot \n\nFrom Sperryville\, Route 211: Take Route 522 south for .8 mile.
