I fixed the directions. Trails in that section of GWNF can be challenging to ID on the maps – signage out there is not as thorough as it is in Shenandoah. I don’t think the trail to Strickler Knob is even marked on PATC’s most recent map of that area.

……..this should read “head straight on to Massanutten trail” (orange blazes)

I’ll make some notes on the trail description to key people into it. One of my co-workers missed finding the pinkish markers at the top and just headed back down. Of course, she didn’t have a GPS or had written down any of our notes on the hike. I’m glad you found the geocache I placed up there also. This is such a great hike and I felt it needed to have a geocache there. Since then, hikingupward has put one there also. We were actually nearby on the same day doing Duncan Knob. We should have our post up for that in a few days, but it’s another one of those gems that has a great rock scramble at the top. If you liked Strickler Knob, you’ll like that one also.

All I can say is WOW!!! What an amazing hike and amazingly good time. It was a tad cold and windy yesterday, but it was an amazing day for hiking and what a view it was from the knob!! This is by far my favorite hike so far. Thank you so much for your review and way points…without those my group would have been totally lost. I will for sure be using this site again for all my trail hiking adventures, because you guys have super accurate information and your journaled trips are spot on with great advise. Thanks also for hiding the geocache on the knob, it was my 200th find!! One suggestion, make sure for people wanting to hike Strickler knob that they put in the waypoint for the start of the knob trail after the trail junction or pay very close attention, because the trail is not very well marked at the begining after you reach the top. Once you pick up the first pinkish/brownish marker on the rocks your totally fine and cant miss the rest of them, but I found it hard to see the first one from the road without a good bit of looking. Thanks again and hope to do some more fun hikes and read all about where you guys have been.
