Hiking Buzzard Rock
DRONE MONTAGE: 9:39
HIKE STARTS: 0:59
Went on an easy 4 mile roundtrip hike up to Buzzard Rock near Front Royal, VA in the Massanutten Mountains. Beautiful views of Fort Valley and points north. Other than the really steep section before you reach the Buzzard Rock cliffs, it's a really family friendly hike and it only took us about an hour to get to the top from the parking lot. The first half mile of the hike is filled with creek crossings and ups and downs, then it starts a slow and steady climb to the top of the ridge. At the top, there are lots of places to sit down and enjoy the view. BUT, beware of the sharp drop offs of the cliffs.

Buzzard Rocks, VA
One particularly tricky section of the Buzzard Rock's trail in Virginia. Unfortunately the people films and taking pictures were the ones who rode it clean.
The leaves made it especially interesting.

Big Schloss Hike at Great North Mountain
Big Schloss is one of the most popular hikes in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, and with good reason. To get there, you'll want to head out to Wolf Gap Recreation Area of the George Washington National Forest, located on Great North Mountain west of Woodstock, Virginia, at the state line between Virginia and West Virginia. Hike the Mill Mountain Trail along the ridge line (and state line) up to the Big Schloss overlook. Schloss is a German word meaning Castle. This area was settled mainly by German immigrants, and German was once the dominant language spoken throughout the area. From a distance, the Big Schloss formation looks a lot like a massive fortress on top of the mountain, so Castle is a fitting name for it. Once you arrive at the Schloss, awesome views in all directions including Shenandoah Valley, Little Sluice and Mill Mountains, Little Schloss formation, Halfmoon Mountain and Long Mountain in West Virginia, Tibbet Knob, Massanutten, Shenandoah National Park, and beyond.

Tibbet Knob Hike at Great North Mountain
Great North Mountain divides Virginia and West Virginia in the area of Shenandoah County, VA, and Hardy County, WV. West of the Virginia town of Woodstock, in the George Washington National Forest is Wolf Gap Recreation Area. This is the most popular start point for both Big Schloss and Tibbet Knob. The Tibbet Knob Trail is short but rated difficult due to steep terrain and a couple of spots that require rock scrambling. The reward for the effort is the awesome view from the rocky cliffs near the summit of the knob. This hike is slightly less crowded than the more popular nearby Big Schloss hike. I didn't see anyone on the trail. I encounter some patches of ice and deep snow which added to the difficulty. I was unable to even video one of the scrambles due to the ice.

Hiking and camping in Seneca Rocks, WV
Hey! Sharing some footage that I captured on our camping trip to Seneca Rocks, West Virginia. My husband and I brought along our toddler and met up with my husband's parents there. We decided to leave our 10th month old son with my parents while we went so I missed him a lot but other than that it was so much fun! Thank you so much for watching and I hope to have you as subscriber!!

After a windy night on Buzzard Rock, I follow the Appalachian Trail into Grayson Highlands State Park. Along the way, I summit the highest peak in Virginia: Mount Rogers. Also, I run into a few wild ponies and hit the trail's 500 mile mark.

Appalachian Trail Roller Coaster - Sam Moore Shelter - Hollow Brook Falls - Rod Hollow Shelter
Waterfall at 8:00...
Continuing my section hike of the Appalachian Trail Southbound, I decided to conquer the Roller Coaster this weekend. I started at Snickers Gap at the great commuter parking lot on VA7 at the intersection with 601. The AT is just west of the parking area along the highway and clearly marked. There is a Blue Blaze trail that also cuts down toward it, as well as a side trail to the Bear’s Den Hostel. The goal was to hike south to the Sam Moore Shelter and stay overnight there. It is approximately 3.8 miles from the VA7 commuter lot to Sam Moore. Sam Moore is a nice little shelter with a separate covered picnic table area. The Spring is a small stone boxed area with a sandy bottom under a tree right before the shelter. It was flowing OK and had nice cold clean water. There is a nearby stream that I would not get water from, as it looked a little spoogy. There are also nice flat sandy tent sites around. The next day I continued south. Along the way I passed a neat campsite at Buzzard Hill (no water), and an interesting spring near an old foundation further south. At approximately 6.8 miles is a pretty big stream crossing that I could hear falling water off to the left/SE from. I hiked up an unmarked, but well traveled, side trail to find a pretty nice waterfall! I later found out from Smell N Roses that this was called Hollow Brook Falls. It was a surprise gift that was worth the very short walk to see. At 7.8 miles, the AT crosses Morgan’s Mill Road (605). This is a dirt road with room for a few cars to park on. People obviously use this to park and walk to the falls. The 1000 mile marker (NOBO Sign) is at about 10.8 miles from the parking and the Roller Coaster ends (sign posted) at 11.1 miles from the VA7 parking. Rod Hollow Shelter is nearby the end of the Roller Coaster (~11.7 miles from VA7 parking). This is also a nice shelter, but the spring was dry. I finished up the trip (13.8 miles total) at the Ashby Gap parking at 601 near I50. There is good parking for a few cars there as well.
