mary's rock summit trail印象

First impressions are important. This was our first hike in Shenandoah and if left me with a great first impression of the aformentioned park. I would classify the trail as moderate (rocky sections and moderate grade) but not too difficult. At the top Mary's rock provided us with a view of the clouds beautifully streaming past.

The length of the hike was a good workout. The summit feels farther than it is on the trail with not much to see along the way. The summit has a nice clearing that presents good rock formations to further climb and explore. The (overlook) view is nice but not as breathtaking as often written. The upper rocks of the summit were accessible but were infested with swarms of flying ants which made it unpleasant to linger. Because of the intense afternoon sun, I would say this spot is good for early morning or late afternoon visits.

Steep grade, but easy hike for active people! Well worth the walk up... Flat on top which makes it perfect to have lunch and relax overlooking the gully!! Gorgeous views, many hawks!

It's a really steep hike up, but wow is it worth it. It's got gorgeous views of the entire Shenandoah Valley, and if it's foggy, there's this surreal feeling of watching the world disappear in front of you.

We hiked around 3.5 miles to an outcropping of rocks overlooking the valley. It was very pretty once we got there. There is some rock scrambling toward the end. There isn't much of a view on the way there so not sure I would recommend this trail.

A little steep, a little rocky, some straight stretches, some narrow passages, but very doable in about 3 to 3-1/2 hours.

I would say this is a medium difficulty hike, I see some say on here that it is easy, since the hike is mostly uphill I definitely would not rate that as easy. The hike was worth the views at the top, I think it only took me 2 hours round trip.

One of those walks that seems to be going nowhere and then....bang, a view to die for. Persevere, it's well worth the effort

We hiked up from Skyline Drive via the Meadow Spring Trail. It's not a tough hike, but legs and lungs are required. The views are mostly of Appalachian forest before the summit. Note - On the way back, it is very easy to miss the marker for Meadow Spring Trail.

Great afternoon hike, beautiful view. Good intro to the park as it is close to the northern end. Typical Shenandoah hike -- uphill in, then down hill out. No major rock scrambles except at peak.
