Description

Added by Alex DiTomaso

For mountain views and a peak into the backcountry, Hawksbill mountain is the perfect hike for you!

I've done this particular hike 3 times and counting. This is a hike I continue to come back to because of the incredible views and enjoyable trails. The 2.9 mile round trip hike is best to do early in the morning, before the trails fill up.

Shenandoah is one of the less dog friendly parks, but the trails to Hawksbill Mountain allow our 4 legged friends. My most recent visit in June, my friend and I ran into a full size bear near the trailhead. The bear was uninterested in us but we were still very alert.

I've done this hike both in Winter and Summer and will definitely return again.

Hawksbill Mountain Summit

A hike to the summit of Hawksbill Mountain will not only put you at the highest point in Shenandoah National Park (4050'), but you'll have a 270 degree view perfect for a sunset. This moderate hike is located at MP 45.6 on the Skyline Drive in Shenandoah National Park, so you'll have to pay a $20 entrance fee (valid for 7 days) per car to enter the park if you don't have an annual pass. There...

Lower Hawksbill to Salamander to Appalachian Trail Loop

This is one of 2 trails that will take you to the summit of Hawksbill Mountain. The other is the Upper Hawksbill Trail (which I also wrote an adventure about!). This trail is a combination of the Lower Hawksbill Trail, the AT, and the Salamander Trail. The parking are area for this hike is at mile marker 45.6 on Skyline Drive. From the parking lot, you can either go clockwise (left) or counter...

Upper Hawksbill Trail

The trailhead has a small parking area at mile marker 46.7 on Skyline Drive, just past the Old Rag overlook (on the opposite side of the road) if you're driving south. The hike is a 2-mile out-and-back that takes you right to the summit. The first ~2/3 of it is relatively flat and very easy walking through the woods. After that, you reach the spot where the trail joins Byrds Nest 2 Road (also ...

Photograph Spilter Knoll Overlook

The Spitler Knoll is one of 72 overlooks for people to enjoy as they travel through Shenandoah National Park along Skyline Drive. Skyline Drive is the road that winds through the heart of Shenandoah National Park, starting at Front Royal in the north and ending at Rockfish Gap in the south. This 105 mile long road offers great views of the surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains and valleys while sim...

Backpack Rose River Loop

The trail can be found on Skyline Drive. Though it is a little challenging to locate, you should park at Fisher’s Gap Overlook (mile marker 49.4), and then walk over across the road and find the trail. You'll spot it by looking over the side of the road and then hiking down. The Rose River Loop begins to the left of the fire road (you'll come up this fire road on the way back). The trail st...

Hike the Rose River Falls to Dark Hollow Falls Loop

Parking at the trailhead is a few miles north of Big Meadows at the Fisher's Gap Overlook parking area. You will find much more solitude along this loop trail than if you were to park at the Dark Hollow Falls trailhead as the Dark Hollow Falls is much more popular. That makes being able to find the shot or picture that you want without other hikers getting in your shots, much easier. The ...
