Embark on a difficult 10.0-mile (16.2 km) hike up Humpback Rocks and Dobie Mountain, gaining 2354 feet (718 metres) in elevation over approximately 5 hours and 22 minutes. You will navigate varied terrain, moving through thick woods, rocky sections, and wooden steps as you climb. The highlight is reaching the View from Humpback Rocks, where you can enjoy spectacular 360-degree vistas of the Rockfish and Shenandoah Valleys.
Due to the steep and rocky sections of the trail, proper footwear is highly recommended for your safety and comfort. The Humpback Rocks area is very popular, so be prepared for crowds, especially if you plan to visit on weekends. Plan your start time accordingly to make the most of your experience.
While the route includes Dobie Mountain, be aware that the dedicated Dobie Mountain Trail itself has been permanently closed. Your focus will be on the rewarding Humpback Rocks ascent and its surrounding areas. Before or after your hike, you can explore the Humpback Rocks Visitor Center, which features a mountain life museum and a historic farm.
