A view west shortly after gaining the ridge.
A view of Massanutten Mt during our lunch break. Signal Knob is to the far left.
A giant ant hill (still active).
Getting "psyched" for the steep pipeline descent.
We were way up there 30 minutes ago!
Gray Beardtongue (Penstemon canescens) were in thick clusters along a gravel road we used as a connector.
Fly Poison (Amianthium muscaetoxicum) literally edged the ridge-top trail.
Clasping Venus' Looking Glass (Specularia perfoliata).
