So this time in mid-October 2021, I decided to head a bit west towards Wolf Gap, on the boundary of Virginia and West Virginia, and hike two popular trails in the region, Tibbet Knob and Big Schloss, in peak foliage season.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 615px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/202110\/23\/DJI_0505.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/202110\/23\/thumbnails\/DJI_0505.jpg\" alt=\"Big Schloss\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\"><\/br>Big Schloss<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>With nice weather forecast for the day, I thought a hike during this peak foliage season would be a great idea. Within 2 hours of driving from my home, the only place left on my bucket list was Wolf Gap on the boundary between Virginia and West Virginia. From there, a 3.4km one-way trail led north to Big Schloss, an outstanding group of boulders overlooking the surrounding valley with fantastic views. In addition, a 2.3km one-way trail led south to Tibbet Knob, a less spectacular rocky outcrop, nonetheless with some views.<\/p>\n<p>I had some errands to run this morning on my way to Virginia, which meant roadwork in Virginia along I495 caused some slowdown at American Legion Bridge across Potomac River. In addition, I had to take a detour at Strasburg to avoid a crash along I81. These factors combined, I only reached Wolf Gap at 12:30pm. <\/p>\n<p>Wolf Gap Recreation Area featured a campground and a small parking lot. But the area was popular with visitors on autumn weekends, that people used whatever space they could find along the access road as overflow parking, in quantities that were multiple of the official parking lot\u2019s capacity. But luckily, I arrived and pulled into a vacant spot in the actual parking lot.<\/p>\n<p><script src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/splide.min.2.4.21.js\"><\/script>\n<link rel=\"stylesheet\"

It could serve as an ideal place to take rests. The top photos were taken during my ascent and the bottom during descent.<\/div>\n<p><\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 615px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/202110\/23\/DSC_9396.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/202110\/23\/thumbnails-m\/DSC_9396.jpg\" width=\"49%\" alt=\"Rocky Trail\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/202110\/23\/DSC_9424.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/202110\/23\/thumbnails-m\/DSC_9424.jpg\" width=\"49%\" alt=\"Rocky Trail\" \/><\/a><\/br>Rocky Trail<\/br><\/p>\n<div style=\"font-size: smaller;text-align: left\">Approaching Tibbet Knob some sections of the trail required minimal scrambling.

Instead, the overlook was about 150m towards its north. Arriving from the Wolf Gap, Tibbet Knob was a rocky outcrop that was impossible to miss.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a very windy day. I didn\u2019t feel that among the shelter of trees. But once I stood on the exposed Tibbet Knob, the frigid winds were bringing chills which I was certainly not dressed for. I wanted to appreciate the scenery but too often I had to retreat back to the woods to warm myself up.<\/p>\n<div class=\"splide\" id=\"splide-major-2\">\n<div class=\"splide__track\">\n<ul
