Hike the Plunge in Wintergreen

“The Plunge” provides amazing mountain views. On a clear day, you can see 45 miles towards Lynchburg. This is certainly a “bring your camera” hike in Wintergreen Resort. The Plunge trailhead can be found on Blackrock Circle on Wintergreen mountain. Follow the yellow trail blazes from the trailhead to an awe-inspiring overlook.

This is the shortest trail in the resort at only .2 miles. Be aware that this trail is considered “moderate”. My personal notes include that anyone who hikes this trail needs to wear appropriate shoes. Even though this is a short trail, you will be walking over rough terrain with large rocks. “The Plunge” is a short trail, but you can also pick up the Brimstone Trail or the BlackRock Trail from The Plunge. (marked with red blazes)

Here is a quote from the Wintergreen Nature Foundation:

“The Plunge is an excellent introduction to the beauty and natural history of the area. The rock formations were created millions of years ago and are called pedlar gneiss. The Plunge provides an incredible overlook and family picture spot.”

If you are interested in hiking in Wintergreen Resort, stop by Wintergreen Resort Premier Properties and pick up a free resort hiking map. (located in the Mountain Inn) There are over thirty miles of hiking trails in the resort.
