Blackrock Summit
A summit of black quartzite boulders in the south, reached by a loop of about 1.6 km. Suitable for the whole family.
Blackrock Summit lies at Mile 84.4 in the southern part of the park. The loop trail is about 1.6 km with almost no climbing, so you can easily reach the summit of dark brown quartzite blocks. The views are wide. Looking west you can see the Shenandoah Valley, and it is especially beautiful at sunset. Part of the loop follows the Appalachian Trail. Watch your footing when climbing the boulder field. It is about 1.5 hours' drive from Luray.
