AT in VA Rt. 60 to Rockfish Gap - ATsectionRt60toRockfishGapscreensho.jpg

This section is just south of the Shenandoah National Park and extends from Rt. 60 to Rockfish Gap in Virginia. Rockfish gap is also where the trail crosses Rt. 250 and I-64. The trail is 55 miles and goes up The Priest, hits all 3 points on Three Ridges, and passes by Humpback Rocks - a short blue blaze off the white AT gets us there.
