Hiking

The Humpback Rocks Trail begins at the south end of the Humpback Gap. About a half-mile up the blue-blazed trail, hikers can take a spur trail on the left to reach Humpback Rocks, enjoying a strenuous 700-foot climb that rewards with stunning views of the Rockfish and Shenandoah Valleys. Continuing straight at the fork, hikers can reach the summit of Humpback Mountain for more great views. The trail is marked with blue blazes and sometimes white when part of the Appalachian Trail.
