Aug 2nd, 2020, I headed towards the northern district of George Washington National Forest and hiked two of its most popular trails, Strickler Knob and Duncan Knob. Both trails started from a country road deep in the forest and led to a cluster of boulders towering above surrounding trees with panoramic views.<\/p>\n

I left home at 9:30am, and took I66-US340 to Luray where I picked up some supplies from its rural Walmart. So by the time I reached the trailhead of Strickler Knob, it was already noon.<\/p>\n

Only the first 1.5 mile of Crisman Hollow Road, Between US211 and Massanutten Storybook Trail, was paved (left). After that, the road was unpaved (right), but in much better shape than other unpaved roads I\u2019d been to.<\/div>\n
