    Nice place to catch a trolley and head into town. Trail angels also tend to leave water and snacks.

    Great access to the AT and the Shenandoah National Park. The parking lot is small though and the traffic on 522 can be fast so crossing the road must be done with caution.

    The parking here is decent; you will potentially have a hard time finding a spot during the busy season though. Heading south bound on the AT is a heck of a climb to the Tom Floyd Shelter, then into Shenandoah National Park. Going north bound, you parallel the fence line of the Smithsonian facility about a mile or so heading to the Jim and Molly Denton Shelter.

    Hikers may not realize it, but Mountain Home is just a few steps east of this crossing. The trail parallels the road for 1/4 mile, and then it's just 120 steps more to the driveway, on the left, through the rock wall gate. It's "Cabbin" is a hiker hostel as part of the B&B, with lots of hiker services (shuttles, boot dryers, laundry, pizza, breakfast, etc.). Free cookies and a cup of lemonade or tea for all visitors.

    Hard hiking on the AT southbound. First few miles are mostly up hill until you reach the Shenandoah National park. The trail grade and condition gets better. Enjoy a quiet and beautiful hike!
