Description
This quick, steep hike begins in Humpback Gap Parking lot along the Blue Ridge Parkway, 5 miles south of Rockfish Gap and Rt. 64. You accend very quickly up a well graded trail for about .4 and then begin to accend very quickly up the ridge on a rocky trail to the ledges above. The views are amazing, 360 deg. on top of slanted rock that juts out from the ridgeline. Enjoy the rocks, but be careful not to slip and fall, and watch out for kids.
The decent is quick - 20 mins. to the car. Well worth the short accent. Happy trails.

Directions to Hike
Take the Blue Ridge Parkway south from Rockfish Gap and Rte. 64 5 miles to the Humpback Rock Gap Parking lot. You can see the ledges high above the lot. From Charlottesville, home of the greatest university in the country, UVa! take 64 west to Blue Ridge Parkway. Enjoy the views!!
