The panoramic vista from Little Schloss is spectacular, however the rock scramble to to the summit does require some skill.
This is one of the more popular hikes here in Shenandoah County! Dogs are allowed, but the final rock scramble will be a challenge with a dog.

Big Schloss is another treasure in the George Washington National Forest. Relatively easy at only 4.4 miles and 1,000 vertical feet.
One of our favorites!
Dogs are welcome, but must be on a leash. The first half mile or so is a steep incline but after that it's smooth sailing. Great views of both Virginia and West Virginia.
