We got to the Hone Quarry campground around 10:30, setup our tents, and then headed off on the Oak Knob Hike. There were two great views in the first mile of the hike, then several views of the reservoir further up the Cliff Trail. At only 7.9 miles long this hike is grueling because of the rocky Cliff Trail, and the steep descent on the Pond Knob Trail.

Nestled in a quite area of the GWNF just west of Harrisonburg VA, this is a picture perfect place to spend a weekend hiking from a central camping spot. And because it was car camping, we could bring the added luxuries of camp chairs, a grilled dinner, and other things we could never backpack in :)

Sunday morning we got an early start and hiked the Hone Quarry Ridge circuit, which also had a beautiful view out to the west. In all, this is a great camping spot with two nice loop hikes that both starting at campground.
