Corner of Echols
Also Corner of Echols Dorm
Humpback Rock, Virginia, USA
Do you not have class in the morning? Or maybe you just like getting up before the sun for whatever reason. Either way, come start the Halloween month (or October) off right with a sunrise hike over at Humpback Rock!
It’s an easyish 2 mile hike (very accessible to new hikers), but there’s plenty of spots to take breaks. The motivator will be racing the sun, but I scheduled in enough time to rest if needed. The views will be worth it!
