Today's hike (scramble) at Hanging Rock was led by Ben Harris. Ben developed this route after several off trail excursions along and on top of Moore's Wall. Beginning from the parking area at Tory's Den, we follow the Sauratown Trail into Hanging Rock State Park.
The walk is slightly uphill and easy until we turn off trail and start scrambling along the spine of Moore's Wall. The route along the spine has several faint trails within its approximately 30 yard corridor. Eventually we join the Moore's Wall Loop Trail and head toward the observation tower. There is no view today so we don't even bother stopping.
Roughly .3 mile from the tower, we drop down to the base of the wall and make our way back to the starting point. I've been on this route 3 previous occasions and still enjoy the walk. The rock formations above are quite unlike anything else in the area.
