Hike Details:
Beginning at the Humpback Rocks parking lot (milepost 5 on the Blue Ridge Parkway) we will hike south along the AT to the Rocks. This is uphill with a steady, moderate grade of about 3 1/2 miles. After taking a break and climbing around the rocks, we will continue south along the AT to the Humpback picnic area. This portion is also about 3 1/2 miles, up and down the whole way without any prolonged steep ascents. Total distance will be about 7 miles, with about 1200 feet of elevation gain.
As this is a point to point hike we will drop everyone off at the Humpback parking area and park the cars at the picnic area (milepost 8). The shuttle should only take about 10 minutes.
Bring lunch, snacks, and water/electrolytes. Trekking poles are optional.
