    Hiking

    Just before you hit the junction with the Appalachian Trail is a lovely overlook on a rocky outcropping. Most people stop and turn around here after enjoying one of the best views in all of the James River Face Wilderness and Thunder Ridge Wilderness. As you relax here, be aware that rattlesnakes sometimes hide in the cracks, so be careful where you sit! From here, you can either turn around and go back to your car or continue on either the AT or the Sulphur Springs Trail, and eventually to the intersection with the Balcony Falls Trail.
