Our Trip To The Bamboo Forest On The Maury Trail

We had an exciting adventure on the Maury Trail in Newport News, VA. We took the HRT bus to Riverside Medical Center and walked a short distance to the trail head. John and Tyler planned the route and did a fantastic job! After we explored the trail and the infamous Bamboo Forest, we took the bus to an authentic Mexican restaurant called, Los Paisas Locos. We hope you enjoy our photos from this experience!
