Trail description
A short, steep 1.7 km climb of about 250 m from the Blue Ridge Parkway to Humpback Rocks (940 m), a massive greenstone outcrop near the top of Humpback Mountain in Virginia. The formation is named for the hump it makes on the western face of the mountain, and its exposed rocky summit stands out among the heavily wooded peaks around it. It lies about 10 km south of the northern entrance to the Blue Ridge Parkway near Waynesboro, beside the 3.22 km2 Humpback Rocks Recreation Area.
