Starting along the Fridley Gap Trail.


Mountain Run Swimming Hole.


Junction with the Fridley Gap Trail / Massanutten South Trail. I headed left first.

Ascending the trail.


Near the top of the ridge.

At the bottom of the other side of the ridge, following a forest road.


Forest road ascends back up the ridge along the Massanutten South Trail.


It's not very interesting for a while.

Some views along the forest road/trail.



The Massanutten South Trail narrows from an old roadbed into a trail.


Flooded trail next to one of Fridley Run's tributaries. It was drizzling, so ignore the water splotches on my lens.

Crazy moss-covered rocks along the way.


Light coming through the trees.

Approaching the high point of the hike, just before descending to complete the loop. The high point isn't a peak or anything, just a point along a slope.

Go slightly off-trail to get to a pretty overlook.

Close-up from the overlook.

View looking north-ish from the overlook.

Continuing back down the trail.


Forested ridge walk to get back to the trailhead, completing the loop.
