"So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life."

Standard loopPretty rocks, but more enjoyed the true summit as it was away from the mass of humanity.

Scramble with popsClimbed this along the scramble route with my pops and then we looped back to the TH on the AT. My first East Coast mountain scramble and it was a lot of fun. Much better rock than the Rockies :)

Nice short scrambleTook the park ranger's recommendation, and totally worth the short time!

Bearfence MountainI have made this hike/climb several times. It is a fun, short scramble, and not a lot of people know about it. So, it's never crowded, unlike some of the more popular peaks in the park.

Snowy and WindyThe snow and ice and high winds made this little scramble a bit more intimidating than I thought it would be.

Slippery When WetI've climbed it on a cool, misty afternoon when the rocks were slippery and there were no views. Most recently I climbed it on a warm sunny day in November. I went to the true summit first, then took pictures from the rocks on the way back.

No fence BearfenceThose were some truly nice Virginia rocks. It was easier than anticipated, but still a class A east coast mountain. Next time will bring shoes and rope.

Excellent hike/scrambleThis hike and scramble was a lot of fun. I wanted to do the loop a second time but I was pressed for time.

Nice hikeOne of the many nice trails in SNP. Can get very crowded on a nice day though. I have hiked this trail numerous times

EasyWish I could recall the exact date. I just remember I was alone and it seems like the leaves were off the trees. Must have been fall 2003 or 2004, but I can't say with certainty.
Anyway it's a very easy and short little hike, but with cool rocks.

Lost my hat!It rained really hard on October 27th, and it was very windy the next day. While scrambling over the rocks, a particularly strong gust of wind ripped the baseball cap right off my head and sent it off a cliff!
On the way back, I saw a black bear and her two cubs climbing up a tree.

Cool HikeSecond hike of the day after we did South River Falls with my dog. Lot of fun doing the little bit of scrambling at the top.
Excellent page.
