| This overlook offered the best view of the hike; the northen Shenandoah Valley. In the second picture you can see the South Fork of the Shenandoah River. The third picture is away from the overlook, up the mountain: our trail book says this area is a hang glider launch point.

| South face; the snow that has been packed into ice by hikers doesn't melt as quickly.
