Old Rag is a medium level dayhike about a 6.5 hour drive north to Shenandoah National Park. The hike itself is usually up to 7 hours, depending on how many people are on the trail. I would say the minimum age for this trip should be about 12 years old if the parent is going to help over any ruff spots.
Check out the short video from the National Park Service here to understand why this hike would be awesome......

I have hiked it an while it wasn't a walk in the park, it wasn't the hardest hike either. And the payoff for the effort is one of the best out there.
