We will start our hike from the Skyland parking area following the AT south to views from the Timber Hollow and Crescent Rock overlooks then around the back of Hawksbill cliffs to the southern approach to Hawksbill Peak, we'll summit Hawksbill for 360 degree views of the park and Old Rag then stop for lunch at the Byrd's Nest Shelter.  Following lunch we'll descend down the east side of the ridge to White Oak Canyon falls and then return to Skyland for a moderately challenging 10 - 11 mile hike.  Much of the AT through this section is rocky so hiking boots and hiking poles are highly recommended.  The elevation gain is substantial so you should be in reasonably good shape to enjoy the hike.  Contact David Grimes at dvgrimes.54@gmail.com if you would like to go on this hike.
