The Rockfish Gap entrance station is a mere 15 minutes from Hazy Mountain. Entry is $30 per vehicle, or free with an annual National Parks pass which is $80- well worth the investment if you plan to visit more parks in the next year.. Shenandoah is so special to us! We got engaged here in July of 2025 and would love nothing more than for you to get outside, take a hike, and give some love to one of our most beautiful national parks. Nearby hikes to the Rockfish Gap entrance station include: - Humpback Rocks - Upper & Lower Shamokin Falls
A cute way to kick off your Saturday morning in Virginia wine country!

Walking at a comfortable pace, the hike to the western portal and back will take roughly 1.5 hours. The trail is crushed gravel; there are some steep inclines. One way mileage is 2.25 miles, and round trip from one trailhead to the other and back is 4.5 miles. The tunnel does not have lighting and the tunnel is dark. The use of a high-powered flashlight or headlamp is recommended. Wear comfortable shoes. There will be puddles of water inside the tunnel. Dress appropriately as the inside of the tunnel stays cool at roughly 55-65 degrees Fahrenheit depending on the time of year. Water drips from the top and the sides constantly. The dripping water also creates ruts and puddles on the tunnel interior trail path, be cautious when walking and/or biking. One section on the west trail includes a concrete mat stream crossing that may have water flowing over it during or shortly after rainstorms. There are no water fountains along the trail. Bring water from home for your hike.
