Our favorite Hike. We like going up and back vs around the full loop. Go early and enjoy the views! You must get a Old Rag Day-Use Ticket in addition to the National Park Pass. Details here: https://www.nps.gov/shen/planyourvisit/faqs-oldrag.htm

The Mary’s Rock hike has the best reward-to-effort ratio in the Park. It is a total of 3.8 miles out and back and the views of the Shenandoah Valley and all of Rappahannock County are memorable. The secret is to proceed past the Park entrance and take the next left where you can park for free and avoid the entrance fee.

Pets are not allowed on this hike. From Skyline Drive - The steep descent following a stream to this beautiful waterfall is one of the Park’s most traveled trails. This trail is short, but very steep and rocky. The return climb is challenging! Can also extend and travel Rose River Falls Trail for a longer hike.

Buck Ridge trail up to Skyline drive, optional extension up to Mary's Rock. Take the steep southern trail up (essentially rock steps the whole way) then come down the north trail along-side the stream with several crossings. Well maintain trail in the mature forest. Add on the Mary's Rock section to get the summit views. Leashed Dog allowed.
