Turk Mountain is a short hike at the southern end of Shenandoah National Park, Virginia. It starts along the Appalachian Trail for a short time before heading west along the peak's east ridge along the blue-blazed Turk Mountain Trail. A bunch of nice forest walking continues to the south side of Turk Mountain and a bit of light boulder-hopping leads to the summit. We didn't have great views due to fog on our trip, but it's a nice hike and it seems the overlook to the west from the summit is nice.

Along the Turk Mountain Trail.

The trail has some light rockiness, but is short and pleasant.

Ascending to the summit of Turk Mountain.

Rocky summit area of Turk Mountain. Unfortunately no views for us today.

We returned as it was getting dark.
