Another autumn day as my friends and I ventured into nature again. This time we were visiting Shenandoah National Park in Virginia, hiking Whiteoak Canyon \/ Cedar Run Loop and Bearfence Mountain.

After a little bit over two hours and abnormally busy traffic on the usually quiet Virginia Route 15\/211, we arrived at the parking lot which was marked as “Lower Hawksbill Trailhead” on maps.<\/p>\n

This loop trail had a dedicated parking lot down the hill on Weakley Hollow Road off Skyline Drive. However, by the time we visited the lower parking lot was closed due to bridge maintenance (online comments indicated it’s reopened as of Oct 11), so parking was a challenge as it was a relatively small lot accommodating three trails (this one plus Crescent Rock and Hawksbill Peak). Fortunately, we pulled into the only open spot at the time, so I could leave my worries with all the annoying bugs.
