Hawksbill
Shenandoah’s highest peak, a short hike off the road
Hawksbill is one of the places Roamward flags on the Skyline Drive because it gives the drive its texture: Shenandoah’s highest peak, a short hike off the road. Use it as a planned pull-over instead of letting the route become a blur between towns.
