This trail meanders its way up to the viewpoint at High Rocks, with its elevation spread throughout so that it maintains a leisurely pace. Mostly tucked into the trees, its only real views come at the top. Great for if you’d like to just put some miles under the feet. Overcast for majority of hike.

A couple types of mushroom seen sharing the base of this tree.

The view from High Rocks towards what I believe is the town of Stone Mill, VA.

What I believe to be Stuart Mountain, as seen from High Rocks viewpoint. Fall colors were muted by the gray sky.
