Nice relatively easy hike. If you connect to Dickie Ridge you can do a good 5 mile loop with great views.

This cemetery belonged to the Fox family, one of over 1,000 who sacrificed their mountain land to create Shenandoah National Park. Despite just a few surviving gravestones, this cemetery is the burial site for multiple generations of the Fox family. In spring, flowers like daffodils, irises, and periwinkle still bloom - remnants of the cemetery gardens planted long ago that honor the past residents.
