Edit |
This hike takes you up Big Rocky Row through Fuller's Rocks and Little Rocky Row. The entire hike is along the Appalachian Trail and offers beautiful views into the James River Valley.
Start the hike where the Appalachian Trail crosses Hercules Road (VA 812) and follow the white blazed trail to the summit. The Big Rocky Row overlook is a little past the summit.
To make it a shorter hike, the overlooks of Little Rocky Row offer about the same views as the overlook on Big Rocky Row.
