Ridge Trail

If you’re looking to access one of the best views Massanutten has to offer via your own two feet, look no further than the Massanutten Ridge Trail. This 4.5-mile, moderately trafficked out-and-back, offers stellar views of the nearby ski area and the mountains surrounding Massanutten. To access the trailhead, start at the parking lot at the end of Del Webb Drive.

For an added bonus, consider timing your hike with a sunrise or a sunset and be sure to come prepared with sturdy hiking boots and plenty of water!

Difficult | Blue Blazes - 2.25 miles (each way)
Beginning at the wooden steps above the Overlook, this scenic trail winds along Massanutten’s rough and rocky ridge and joins the access road near the ski slopes. The trail’s turnaround point features a magnificent panorama overlooking our ski slopes.

Geocaching

Looking for a fun, family-friendly way to exercise both your mind and body? Try geocaching ("jee-oh-cash-ing"), the fast-growing sport that's akin to a modern-day treasure hunt.

Instead of a worn map marked with an X, you use a GPS receiver, a set of coordinates and clues that will lead you to a cache of goodies hidden at that location. Massanutten is home to many geocaches, so what are you waiting for?
