Starting with a relatively easy two mile climb along pretty Buck Run, before the steep climb to the top began.

Don checks out the ruins of a PATC cabin destroyed by fire about 10 years ago.

These 2 vultures perched on the back of Mary's Rock were initially oblivious of our presence.

Looking down on US 211 from Mary's Rock. Neighbor and Knob Mountains are in the background.

A clear view of Stony Man (the second highest peak in the park at a little over 4000 feet) from the very top of Mary's Rock.

A view of Hazel Mountain as we descend on Buck Ridge.

Mary's Rock from Buck Ridge. We were THERE just 2 hours before!
