Description

Starting from the Stephens Trailhead, you find a pretty mellow trail that has rocky sections. However, as the trail starts to climb up the mountain, the loose rock becomes more constant and more difficult with the climb, and the grade steepens significantly as well.

This trail incorporated with Massanutten Trail makes just over a nine-mile loop.
