Description
This medium difficulty hike is a great hike if you only have a few hours. It is a steady uphill in the beginning, but then flattens to a ridge approach of the Knob. The Knob provides a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains along with Blacksburg VA, and Virginia Tech\'s campus. It is the closest AT access point from Blacksburg, and is well worth the effort. There is also places to camp as well along the way up.

Directions to Hike
From Blacksburg, head west on 460. Turn right onto rt 42 at the gas station and mini mart. Drive for about 1.5 miles and take a left on 601 or clover hill rd. Drive for about 6 miles and a rd will T into 601, go straight on 601 and it will turn to gravel. climb the mountain and as soon as you see the \"Welcome to Giles County\" park. The AT intersects there.
