About

Matthews Hill is a summit within Manassas National Battlefield Park in Virginia, about 2.4 miles from the town of Bull Run. It sits among the park's trail network, with several routes starting within a mile of the hilltop. For comfortable weather, spring and fall are the best bets. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Manassas run highs around 74°F in May and 67°F in October, while July highs average about 88°F. The Main Bridle Loop passes just 0.1 mile away, and the First/Second Manassas Trail is about 0.3 mile off. Both make it easy to fold the summit into a longer walk across the battlefield. The Sudley Connector Trail and the Second Manassas Trail are also within a mile. Climbers can find Winfield Wall roughly 3.2 miles away.
