Description

Good trail that takes you from the Elizabeth Furnace area of the GW up to the east side ridge of the Massanutten Trail. At the top, it intersects with the Massanutten Trail, Shawl Gap Trail east side, and Buzzard Rocks. This is a rockier ridge than the west side of Massanutten, so is very technical. The downhill on this trail is a hoot, but strap on your helmet and wear some elbow pads.
