Our plan was to meet a couple of friends at the Massanutten overlook and hike along its peak all the way to the #6 chairlift and back on the same trail. While we were hiking on the way to the ski slope, we realized the path was getting narrower and narrower as if it becomes a jungle. We found some recent bear feces and learned that we were in the bear territory. Luckily, we made it to the lift and one of our friends didn't feel like hiking all the way back to where we started due to his worn out knee. I texted my good friend who works in the ski office and thought maybe he could give us a ride back to our vehicles if we took a chairlift ride down. It turned out that he was not at work, but informed me to go to the ski/bike rental and they would shuttle us up. My friends were excited to jump on the chairlift down on a gorgeous day and relieved that we didn't have to hike back through the jungle again. Still, what an adventurous day!
