Ramseys Draft Wilderness 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Dowells Draft Trail goes up a steady incline with some flat parts along the way. The last mile before Hankey Mountain is flat, allowing hikers to enjoy some views between the trees. The trail is used by mountain bikers too, so be sure to exercise caution.

Hankey Mountain rises in the Appalachian Mountain range close to Churchville; the peak is 3520 ft high. From Hankey Mountain you can see the mountain range in Ramsey’s Draft Wilderness, on the other side of the valley, with peaks such as The Pinnacle and Big Bald Knob. The North River valley and the mountains around the peak are all covered by lush forest; this beautiful landscape can be seen from the summit.

This view point offers picturesque views of the valley below and is a great place to stop, relax, and find some quietness.

Bald Ridge Trail is a steady but easy climb up that leads to a nice view point. The trail is well-marked and easy to follow, the area is quiet and isolated, so you may not see other people around. It is a perfect path to enjoy a pleasant walk in the forest.

This route is particularly challenging and very wild. If you are looking for adventure, this is for you!

Park at confederate breastworks. Shenandoah mountain trail entrance near the toilets. Gentle mostly flat path. 4 km to entrance to wilderness area. Continue approximately 600 m to conservation corps cabin (in ruins).
