Highest point (4050 ft) in Shenandoah National Park, Hawksbill sports a 270 degree view looking south, west and north. It is a short hike from the Skyline Drive. The Appalachian Trail passes closely. Balsam Fir is supposed to grow in the area. I didn't see any.

Senator Harry Byrd built this shelter, appropriately called Byrd's Nest. The fireplace has been filled in. The area around the summit is a sensitive area, so camping is not permitted. The shelter probably once served as an overnight shelter. Today is has a bar floor and a picnic table. Any bunks that may have been here, are now gone.
