Hike Description

  1. To begin, cross Skyline Drive and follow the A.T. south, turning around every once in a while to look onto the fields of Calf Mountain to the north.
  2. Communication towers at 0.5 mile mark your arrival on the summit. Continue a bit beyond this to the rock outcrops of green shale for a break. To the west is Waynesboro with US 250 running through the Shenandoah Valley. Turn around and you can see the same road descending into the piedmont to the east.
  3. To enjoy the views a little longer, continue along the open mountainside and turn around when the A.T. enters the woods at 1.1 miles.
  4. Retrace your steps to complete the hike.
