    Tips

    December 11, 2023

    Towering over Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains, the iconic greenstone outcroppings of Humpback Rocks offer trail runners a challenging yet breathtaking journey. Located just six miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway entrance near Waynesboro, the distinctive rocky summit of Humpback Mountain stretches 3,080 feet skyward. Despite the surrounding summits blanketed in vegetation, Humpback’s exposed gray stones create a visual “hump” for which it is named, beckoning runners to take on the steep slope.
