This is one of our favorite trails. It's fairly short, there are lots of rocks for the kids to climb, it's steep so you get a good workout, there's a good view at the top and it's only about 20 min. from our house. If you're in the Western Virginia or D.C. area it would make a great fall hike. I wouldn't recommend this for young kids. Wonderful views in both directions.

| Mini mules make kid hiking easier. They don't get thirsty. Bright colored hats make them easy to spot when they run up the trail ahead of you. |

| I'm a little late posting about this hike. These pictures are from late May. Mountain Laurel is one of my favorite spring flowers. |
 |
| We were fortunate to see wild Lady Slipper. Wow! I usually see this somewhere every spring and I'm always blown away. |
 |
| Wild geranium |
 |
| I don't know this one, but I thought it was pretty. |

| Not sure of these either. I always forget to bring the flower books! |
