As we headed out of Shenandoah, we hiked to what is apparently one of the few 360 degree views in the park. So sayeth our guidebook, in any case.
Bearfence Mountain is home to a relatively short loop, if you want it to be, but part of it is a pretty decent rock scramble. That being said, as promised, the views were more than worth the effort.
Here's Justin, mid-scramble. This one wasn't terribly tough as far as it went, but one spot did have some precarious balancing that - I'll be honest - made me wig out. But I made it!
Back at the trailhead, we found a small flock of Cedar Waxwings in a dead snag. Here's a couple shots I got.
And one Waxwing, vamoosing.
There's one more thing I want to show you from this weekend. We were out at the right time for Mountain Laurel to be in bloom. While this is Pennsylvania's state flower, it's just as pretty in Virginia. These were blooming behind the museum in Rapidan Camp.
And with this, we'll leave Shenandoah behind, even though there's a few more adventures that didn't translate to photographs well :)
