short detour from trail

awesome spot to rest at before you hike out.

The Humpback Rocks Trail begins at the south end of the Humpback Gap. About a half-mile up the blue-blazed trail, hikers can take a spur trail on the left to reach Humpback Rocks, enjoying a strenuous 700-foot climb that rewards with stunning views of the Rockfish and Shenandoah Valleys. Continuing straight at the fork, hikers can reach the summit of Humpback Mountain for more great views. The trail is marked with blue blazes and sometimes white when part of the Appalachian Trail.

With a few different ways to approach the feature, Shamokin Falls is the most popular attribute on the Wintergreen Resort property. The Upper Falls Trail is by far the most commonly used trail for accessing the falls, but all the approaches have their advantages. The falls are gorgeous year round, but make sure to not climb on the rocks around the falls since the rocks get slick (and icy).

Completed in 1858 by the Virginia Central Railway, The Crozet Tunnel is 4,273 feet long and at the time the longest tunnel in the United States. The Railway used the tunnel until 1944 and now it serves hikers and cyclists as a trail connecting nearby recreational areas.

White Rock Falls can be accessed from a number of different starting points, but the final spur trail is the only way to get to the actual falls. The cascade tumbles down into a shallow pool of water that is sometimes deep enough to wade into. You'll probably see some other people out on the trail, as this is a pretty popular spot since it is so easily accessed from the Blue Ridge Parkway.

The Humpback Rocks Visitor Center is a quaint farm building built in 1890 and gives an idea of what life was like in the mountains back then, with an exhibit that helps recreate the history. A short hike around leads to other mountain buildings restored. There is a clean restroom and water refill.
