Corner Of Echols Dorm
Humpback Rock, Virginia, USA
Hi
For those in need of a study break (whether you’re feeling the 5am wakeup or still up studying from the night before, I won’t judge), I offer you a Humpback sunrise. The last one was pretty gorgeous so I have moderately high hopes. Trip picture is from last time. For those who haven’t done Humpback, it’s wicked short (under a mile to the top) and has a great sunrise view. This hike will be pretty chill, but it is fairly steep so make sure you’re up for that.
