Skirting the edge of Shenandoah Mountain, this route follows the Shenandoah Mountain Trail across ancient lands once torn by the Civil War. The trail begins by passing the old Confederate Breastworks that were once the site of a standoff between General Johnson and Stonewall Jackson, and soon the Road Hollow Trail will split off to the right into the valley. Continuing straight along the Shenandoah Mountain Trail, pass the intersection with the Jerry’s Run Trail and continue on into the Ramsey’s Draft Wilderness. Wild Turkeys, deer, and even black bears are a common sight in this region, as plentiful as the numerous wonderful views of the Allegheny highlands. Passing through old growth forests on the slopes of Hardscrabble Knob, the path eventually winds its way down towards FDR 95 and the second parking area.
