Features Commonly Backpacked · Views

Enjoy this 17-mile loop near Edinburg, Virginia. Generally considered a challenging route, it takes an average of 8 hours 12 minutes to complete when running (shorter running). This trail is great for backpacking, camping, and hiking, and it's unlikely you'll encounter many other people while exploring. The best times to visit this trail are October through October. Dogs are welcome and may be off-leash in some areas.

Starting it's a steep incline to reach Little Schloss Summit. It's a bit of a rock scramble to the top so you can leave your pack at the bottom if overnighting. After the sharp incline to start it levels out most of the way with some short inclines along the way. Once you get to Big Schloss you can again leave your pack at the bottom and summit. There is a built-in overlook that's very well-maintained. Over all it's a good overnight trip.
