From the trail head parking lot cross VA 311 and follow the white blazed Appalachian Trail for 3.5 miles to the summit. At the top you will find a 270 degree view over the surrounding mountains and an impressive rock overhang. On a good day you can see Tinker Cliffs and the Peaks Of Otter. If you continue 0.1 miles on the AT you will find another scenic view of Roanoke.
