Shenandoah Mountain North (1024)

Dogs Off-leash

E-Bikes Unknown

For those looking for a rugged connector, this trail connects Rt. 33 at the VA/WV border to High Knob Trail (1024) and many trails in the Hone Quarry/Flagpole area. The trail traverses rocky slopes along the Western face of Shenandoah Mountain. Thankfully, this easy to access trail is a popular hike to High Knob Fire Tower, and the northernmost mile of this trail sees significantly more traffic than the remaining Southern piece.

Beyond the High Knob intersection, the trail gets harder to ride, steeper pitches, gnarlier rocks, and more exposure. There are sections of off camber, and ridgetop climbing and descending.
