Magellan and Greyhound | Shenandoah National Park - Four Short Hikes | Appalachian Mountains, Ep. 1 @MagellanandGreyhound | Uploaded October 2020 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
These four short hikes in Shenandoah National Park along Skyline Drive and parts of the Appalachian Trail are by no means the best hikes or the worst hikes, but just the ones we thought would be good. We definitely wish it hadn't rained and we could have hiked Old Rag Mountain.
This is the first episode of our Appalachian Mountain series where we took a two week road trip from Shenandoah National Park down the Blue Ridge Parkway and explored the Great Smoky Mountains. From hiking various portions of the Appalachian Trail up to summits and balds, to exploring majestic waterfalls and bluffs and historical mills and cabins deep within Appalachia, we definitely enjoyed seeing the beauty of America's National Parks.
Hike 1 - Mary's Rock Summit hike - 3.7 mile out and back - 1210 elevation gain (eighth highest peak in park)
Hike 2 - Stony Man Mountain Summit hike - 1.6 mile lariat - 800 foot elevation gain (second highest peak in park)
Hike 3 - Hawksbill Summit - 1.7 mile out and back - 690 foot elevation gain (highest peak in park)
Hike 4 - Little Stony Man hike - 0.9 mile out and back
