Fun challenge after main hike
Kind of ran across the signs while finishing up after doing a Pole Steeple loop as my main hiking of the day. This steep twenty five minute up and back jaunt is like an express version of a longer hike; lots of incline, but a quick payoff. Really nice views at the top.

Not So Easy
Going up from the AT: Sunset Rocks Trail started easy, then got steep. Fun finish on giant rocks

Scrambling 101
A fun, short hike. This would be a good introduction to scrambling for novice hikers.

Sunset Rocks
Hiked this one with my Mom on New Year's Eve last year. Took the AT from the main road, then hopped on the Sunset Rocks Trail.

AT - Sunset Rocks Loop
Started at the end of Old Shippensburg Rd and took the AT out to Toms Run Shelters where we picked up the Sunset Rocks trail. Followed that back to the starting point, over the top of Sunset Rocks. Another fun hike with my wife after we had done Pole Steeple earlier in the afternoon.

Great view
I hiked this with my girlfriend on a very nice day. It was a fun hike, and there was a great view on top. Saw a bunch of small lizards sunning themselves on top. Will be back in the fall for sure!
Quite a tough little climb for early in the morning then a squeeze with full backpacks on down through the rocks to continue! Beautiful views though and worth the scramble!
