Get an early start, beat the heat and get home in time for your cookout!  We will start at the Rt. 309 Appalachian Trail parking area and head north on the AT, across the infamous Knife Edge to Bear Rocks - a big rock scramble with an amazing almost 360 view.  Bring a trail breakfast and we'll enjoy it here.  

Afterward we will return to the 309 parking area, possibly by taking the bypass trail on the return trip.

This is a rocky section of the AT with an overall elevation gain of around 700'.  Crossing the Knife's Edge involves shimmying sideways across a narrow rock ledge.  To get the view at Bear Rocks you will have to climb up a large pile of large boulders.  Please take this information into consideration when deciding if this is a hike for you or not.  

Wear shoes with good grip that work for you on rocky terrain.  Bring adequate hydration and a trail breakfast, sunscreen and bug spray recommended as well.
