Reviews of Humpback Rocks
"Amazing place to visit with my daughter. It took about 45minutes to the top of rocks but we enjoyed natural air and our sweat on the way to the top. Thanks to lots of comments here, we prepared climbing shoes and it’s super helpful to climb. We’re also surprised that lots of elderly climbed with their partners. Good place to come !"
"Great hike. If you take the north trail up it is steep but gets you to the top in about 1 mile. But it is a steep climb. About 3 miles down the switch back trail."
"This hike is moderately challenging. It was 0.8 mile upward but very steep. However view at the top was awesome. We visited on a weekday afternoon. It was not that much crowded."
"It was hot and humid so we made it to the top of the 1 mile incline hike very sweaty, but the views were worth it. The coolness up top felt refreshing! We happened to hike just before a storm so we were standing in the clouds and it was delightful. We loved it. It was just challenging enough but not too much that the entire family (kids included) didn’t enjoy it. We took a couple of pauses on the way up but loved it."
"This is an outstanding hike off the Blue Ridge Parkway. Note if you're using Google maps put in Humpback Gap Overlook or the directions will end approximately 1/2 mile from the trailhead parking lot. You have 2 choices to get to the top using either a direct or loop route. I highly recommend the loop trail for the overlook(s) and other nature views on longer hike. The loop trail is approximately 4.2 miles. If you're in a hurry you can take the direct route up and back that's just under a mile each way. Although the direct route is fairly steep so take that into account. If you want the easier loop route start at the parking lot and it's approximately 3.2 miles to the overlook rocks. However you choose to get there once at the top it's a bit of a rock scramble with a lot.of options, but worth the scramble as it's a great 360 degree view at the top. This time we took the shorter route so the trail pictures I've posted are from that route."
