Little Stony Man trailhead is at milepost 39. This trail also connects to the famous Appalachian trail.
The winding trail keeps ascending through the woods into the Little Stony Man cliffs. From trailhead to
Little Stony Man round-trip is about 0.9 mile. The trail keeps going beyond Little Stony Man and
reaches Stony Man.

The rocks on the cliffs looked much different from others in Shenandoah.

Comparing with the overlooks along the skyline drive, this place looks more open and wide.
The cliffs also ensure that there is no tree to cut in the visibility.

We should probably come back again a few weeks later. By then we might fully enjoy the beautiful scene of spring.
Although the trail just leads us to a place half mile away from the road, we feel as if we have been to
a totally different place. Not just because of what we see, but also because of what we feel.
