Maybe you missed a few key details in our post, Ann? We’d been hiking all day and hadn’t had anything to eat since breakfast. Humpback Rock was the third of our hikes after (Crabtree Falls and the Priest) in a single day. I’m glad you feel so spry at 63 and I am certain we were on the correct trail.

Are you sure you were on the right trail. I’m 63 years old and have no problem at all reaching the summit. It’s worth every step. Years ago the trail was a little steeper but it has been made a lot easier.

[...] matters of faith, or simply a brief outlet for the day – I will be here, just as I was at Humpback Rock, heartily approving of your decision to stick with me post after [...]

I’m glad you enjoyed your hike up Humpback! It’s definitely a tough little hike – lots of uphill packed into a short distance. You’ll have to start exploring some trails in the South District of Shenandoah now. They’re not too far from C’ville!

I just hiked that mountain on Thanksgiving Morning! I am used to hikes east of I-95. Humpback Rock took a lot out of me. All I saw was a trail continuously going up. When I finally made it to the top where that window like rock formation was (It was too windy for me to actually climb up on the rock it’s self), I felt like I had conquered something! Now, I’m hooked on mountain hikes and will try to see my in-laws in Charlottesville more often.
