It was an absolutely beautiful and clear day. Thinking it was going to be easy I decided to leave the water bottles in the car. That was a mistake.
The hike to the top took an hour, and after 15 minutes of hanging out on top and enjoying the view, another hour to come down. Time: 2 hour 15 minutes, Elevation change: 800 feet. We made a good choice by following the blue blaze trail and not taking the "short cut". Near the summit there was a sign that pointed south to the picnic area and a man made sign that said "Rocks" with an arrow pointing north. All in all it was a nice hike with beautiful scenery of the "BLUE" Ridge Mountains.
We should have brought some hiking poles.
