Scothorn Gap Trailhead, starting across Passage Creek and passing a "Road Closed" gate.

Along the Scothorn Gap Trail, just an old road through the forest.




Looking back as I ascend along the Scothorn Gap Trail.

A small clearing .

Small pond on the left, barely visible from the trail.

Junction with the Massanutten Trail. I followed the orange blazed Massanutten Trail (left in this photo).

Along the Massanutten Trail.


Junction with the unofficial Stricker Knob Trail (right), which used pink blazes. Continuing too far would result in descending away from the ridge.

Along the Strickler Knob Trail.


Some light boulder-hopping.


The views become more interesting.

Strickler Knob Trail has a Class 2 section.

Close-up of the Class 2. The trail continues for a short time more.

Final bit of scrambling to the Strickler Knob block.

Nice little scramble through a notch.

Last Class 2+ move to the top.

Strickler Knob, view south at a great view.
