Description
There is ample parking on the road near the trailhead. Head toward Shenandoah National Park along the Jordan River. You'll pass a small private cabin on your left as you come in off the road. 100 yards up the trail from the cabin, you'll reach the entrance to the Park. The hike is steep at times but the trail is clear. You'll follow the yellow blazes, but there's virtually no risk of getting off trail. At 1.3 miles, you'll reach a T-interstion with the Mt. Marshall Trail. The out-and-back is approximately one hour.
