Falls Flowing Full from Snow Melt and Spring Rains

Bridesburg Cottage at Big Meadows.
Old Rag Mountain.
Shenandoah National Park has always been a special place to our family. As a girl, my Mother hiked Old Rag and White Oak Canyon. Skyland was always where we had family reunion. When my Mother and Father passed away we gathered one last time at Skyland to remember them.
Big Meadows was where my wife and I spent the first night of our honeymoon. Bridesburg cottage had fireplaces in the rooms and even in late May it was nice to have a warm fire.
This past Tuesday my son continued the tradition... proposing to his girl at Dark Hollow Falls! When she said 'absolutely' another generation made Shenandoah their special place as well!
My photo of Dark Hollow Falls, now even more of a favorite place!

Hiking Elliott's Knob
A Quiet Mountain Hollow Stream Awaits...
Falls Hollow, pictures taken in September of this year.
...and a Rugged Hike Awaits as Well
One of my favorite places to hike is the trail up Elliott's Knob [or Elliott Knob]. I'm pretty sure I saw it as Elliott's on a Jedediah Hotchkiss map so I'm sticking with it. The trail makes its way up Falls Hollow along this little stream.
Here are More Pictures [click to view] taken along the trail up Elliott's Knob.
Coming out of Falls Hollow, hikers find a rugged mountain road to the top.
Abandoned fire tower at the summit.
Looking up at the fire tower.
Almost to the top, where a view awaits...
...of the Valley and the Blue Ridge Mountains in the distance.
