Flat Top Mountain is an amazing hike in the Blue Ridge Mountains. It is one of three other peaks known as the Peaks of Otter. This peak compared to the other ones is special because it is the tallest, sitting at 4,001 feet, and also it comes with more solitude. Its sister mountains (Sharp Top and Harkening Hill) get a lot more attention than Flat Top does, but that’s okay! We love hiking trails that are less popular.
Wouldn’t it be magical to be able to hike a trail where you could see 8 beautiful waterfalls? Oh wait… you can! Take a hike on the Cedar Run and Whiteoak Canyon Loop Trail in Shenandoah National Park. This 8-mile hike is absolutely worth every step! This is probably the best waterfall hike in Virginia… in my personal opinion.
Take a hike to two amazing waterfalls known as Rose River Falls and Dark Hollow Falls located in Shenandoah National Park. This popular loop trail will take you to see both waterfalls with one being 67 feet tall and the other being 70 feet tall! It’s a nice, yet somewhat challenging hike in nature. You won’t regret it! 😊
How does hike to three beautiful waterfalls in Virginia sound? Good? Yeah, I figured! Located in Shenandoah National Park are the Jones Run Falls and Doyles River Falls. The latter is made up of two portions – an upper and lower falls. Although not the biggest waterfalls in Virginia, they’re still worth seeing, especially during the spring when waterfalls are much bigger. Add Jones Run-Doyles River Loop to your hiking bucket list!
Prepared to be blown away by these beautiful views in Shenandoah National Park! Mary’s Rock is a popular hiking spot. Why? Well, there are magnificent views throughout the hike, it’s a well-maintained trail, and the summit is a perfect place to relax after the hiking all those miles. Who doesn’t love summit hikes? Make sure to add this to your hiking bucket list!
Do you enjoy hiking up mountains to summits with beautiful views? If you answered yes, then add Sharp Top to your hiking bucket list! Not only does this hike lead you to the summit of Sharp Top, but there is also an extra surprise summit near the top called Buzzard’s Roost. Out of the three Peaks of Otter, Sharp Top is by far our favorite!
Hike to the tallest peak in Shenandoah National Park! Hawksbill Summit sits at 4,050 feet and is one of the most popular hikes in Virginia. The summit of Hawksbill has many lookout spots which offer stunning panoramic views. Stick around and watch sunset. In the right conditions, it’s worth it!
Big Table Mountain is a challenging 8-mile out-and-back hike with rewarding views at the top. It’s worth waking up before the rooster crows to watch sunrise, too! Explore this beautiful flat-topped mountain and meet free-roaming cows. This is a great day-hike for the adventurous soler, couple, or family!
