Hole in the wall — Hole in the Wall, Hubbard Springs, Virginia

NOTICE!! Access to this trail from the Virginia side has been posted with "No Trespassing" signs. Some assholes decided it'd be a great idea to steal from the land owner! Thanks for ruining it for all of us.

A friend here in town introduced me to this hike. It's an old wagon trail that was created to get from Hubbard Springs, VA to Cranks, KY with the "hole" having been blasted through the rocky ledge and with great vistas from on top.

It's 4 miles round trip with an elevation gain of about 1,000 feet.

There's not a lot of information about this trail available online unfortunately. It's a hike I've done multiple times and it's great because it's only about 15-20 minutes from my house. I just wish people would stop spray painting stuff on the rocks.

TED: Totally Excellent Dog

Teddy has some weird genetic hair issues going on. He's gone from short hair to long hair to a full mane to no mane, with plenty of iterations in between—and it doesn't depend on the season!

He's always happy to answer any questions too! You can email us at hillary@mybuzzabout.com but I'll respond for him as he hasn't gotten the knack of typing yet. WOOF!
