    Hiking

    Compton Peak is found on a short detour off the Appalachian Trail, via the Compton Peak West Trail, only a few hundred feet up. There is a great clearing and lookout point, and it is worth the detour for hikers to peek out of the green tunnel over the trees. For day hikers, it is a 2.4-mile round-trip hike from the nearest trailhead, with an elevation gain of 800 feet. It is recommended to bring a reward snack to eat here while overlooking the Shenandoah Mountains.
