Journey into Bath County’s early history while ascending to sweeping views of the Cowpasture River Valley on this 2.4-mile round-trip medium-difficulty trail. Starting from the scenic Dan Ingalls Overlook on Route 39, the path climbs through a landscape of intriguing rock formations and interpretive signs that illuminate the region’s natural and cultural heritage. The approximately 1 hour 25 minute hike culminates in panoramic vistas where the valley spreads below like a patchwork quilt of farmland and forest. This Nature Conservancy trail offers an excellent introduction to Warm Springs Mountain Preserve’s rare ecological communities.
