Bland County Virginia Hiking Trails

Monster Rock Trail

George Washington and Jefferson National Forests

Length:  0.75 mile
Rating: Moderate

This short trail hike leaves Walker Mountain Lookout parking lot and leads to a large rock outcrop. Monster Rock is an outstanding vista of the Stony Fork watershed which includes beautiful Bland County farmscapes and historic Garden Mountain to the north. It is a nice side trip of the Big Walker Mountain Scenic Byway. The parking lot for Monster Rock is across from the entrance road to Big Bend Picnic Area. A drive down this road lends visitors equally beautiful views in the opposite direction from those seen at Monster Rock.

Directions:

From Wytheville Virginia: Follow Rt. 52 north for 13 miles to the crest of Walker Mountain. Parking for Monster Rock is at the Walker Mountain Lookout Tower. Total travel distance: 13 miles.
