“Awesome hike. Great views. We started in fog and mist, but climbed up above the clouds. Definitely a must do if you’re in Virginia. Fun scramble at the top. It may be difficult for children or shorter adults, there are a couple of big steps to take. Bring plenty of water, it’s a long hike. It took us just over 5 hours from the parking lot and back. We went on a week day in early October, arrived around 11am and there was plenty of parking. Hiking boots are highly recommended - most of the trail is uneven rock so you’ll want the extra support for your ankles, and there are a few steep rock faces where you’ll appreciate the extra grip (especially if the rock happens to be wet). It’s a busy trail but since it’s a loop you may not see too many people. Close to the top we met a few who decided not to do the scramble and were coming back down. If you’re that close to the summit I highly recommend doing the scramble and completing the loop down the fire road - both for the satisfaction and the views, but also because the trail is a much easier descent.”

“Parking lot is not big, unpaved. It’s about 0.75 mile from the parking lot to the entrance of the Old Rag trail. Has portable toilets. You have to pay a fee to enter the trail, but if you bring a valid receipt from entering Shenandoah National park, they won’t charge you.”
