Notes: This is my final merged map of all the trails in the Massanutten Resort and surrounding trails in the George Washington National Forest. It is incomplete, but 90% done. I am not planning to go to this resort in the near future, so there won't be any more updates. No elevation profile since multiple trails. 2 description files match one *.tpo file

Warnings: Resort is private. Hiking permit required.

Hike 1. Runkles Gap - Catherine Furnace
