I need to offset my substantial website costs somehow! You can download a hike/drive GPX to assist you here. Before sharing my GPX tracks with others, please remember my site is otherwise a free resource.

Molly's Knob is a popular little hike in Hungry Mother State Park. It's got a few nice viewpoints along the way as the hike wraps around the west ridge of Molly's Knob, including a nice perspective down on Hungry Mother Lake. The trail then wraps around the southern slopes and ascends to the summit. The trail up is wide and mostly just forested for the most part, but I got some nice fog on my visit, which added a nice vibe. The top has a couple of benches for relaxing and viewing the hills of western Virginia.
