Trailhead

Pets are not allowed on this hike. Viewed from the north, Stony Man Mountain resembles the bearded face of a man reclining on the slope of the Blue Ridge as he gazes out over the Shenandoah Valley to the west. This enjoyable hike to the second highest peak in Shenandoah National Park brings you to an outstanding view of the Shenandoah Valley, Massanutten Mountain, and beyond.
