Corner Of Echols Dorm
Humpback Rock, Virginia, USA
Howdy
I was complaining about two sunsets on Humpback where we got stuck in the fog so I led a sunrise hike and it was a *Borat voice* great success! Trip picture is from that morning. Anyway now I’m hooked and am doing a part 2. 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.
