Dec 15 Huckleberry Ridge & Moore's Wall Scramble


Ben Harris led today's hike at Hanging Rock State Park. The route which he follows is mostly off trail, offering great views, some scrambling and walking along the base of the massive Moore's Wall. The mileage is only 6 miles but went slowly.


Huckleberry Ridge has many spots like this, offering southern views and a few northern views.


Will chose this windy spot to look north at the Virginia mountains.


Atop the observation tower on Moore's Knob, this is the view west with Huckleberry Ridge in the foreground and Sauratown & Pilot Mountains in the distance. 


After lunch atop Moore's Knob, we dropped down to the base or Moore's Wall and walked next to the wall. Climbers have worn a good trail at the base. We did have to watch for falling ice today. A falling ice dagger would not be nice.
