🎃🥾 WANDERING SOLE SISTERS: HIKES & TRAVELS TOGETHER — HALLOWEEN HIKE AT HUMPBACK ROCKS! 👻🍂
It’s that time again — our annual Halloween Hike!
Join Wandering Sole Sisters: Hikes & Travels Together for a fun fall morning as we hike Humpback Rocks in costume!
🥾 About the Hike
The Humpback Rocks Trail begins at the south end of the Humpback Gap parking area. The blue-blazed trail provides access to Humpback Rocks, Humpback Mountain, and the Humpback Rocks Picnic Area.
For our Halloween Hike, we’ll be heading to Humpback Rocks, approximately 1 mile from the trailhead.
About a half-mile up the trail, we’ll take the spur trail on the left toward Humpback Rocks. The climb is short but strenuous, gaining approximately 700 feet in elevation before reaching the rock outcrop.
The reward? Spectacular views overlooking the Rockfish and Shenandoah Valleys! 🍁⛰️
The trail is generally marked with blue blazes, although sections overlapping with the Appalachian Trail may be marked with white blazes.
🎃 Costumes Are Encouraged!
Get creative and have some Halloween fun! Just remember to choose a costume that is comfortable and safe for hiking. The trail is steep and rocky in places, so proper hiking footwear is important.
👨👩👧👦 Everyone Is Welcome!
While Wandering Sole Sisters is all about bringing women together through hiking, travel, and adventure, our Halloween Hike is open to everyone!
This is a co-ed, family-friendly hike, so bring your spouses, partners, children, family members, and friends!
🚗 IMPORTANT PARKING INFORMATION
Humpback Rocks is an extremely popular trailhead, and parking is limited, especially on weekends.
Additional parking is available at the Humpback Rocks Visitor Center and Mountain Farm, approximately 0.2 miles north of the trailhead.
If you park at the Visitor Center, walk through the historic Mountain Farm, exit through the back fence, continue up the hill, carefully cross the Blue Ridge Parkway, and connect with the trails at the Humpback Gap parking area.
