Mount Jackson looks across the valley at Massanutten ridge, and the national park waits one ridge further east. Dark Hollow Falls is the quick one over there, seventy feet of mossy rock, under a mile and a half each way with a stiff climb back out. No dogs on that trail. They can come along on the Rose River loop, four miles past a sixty-seven footer, and up to Lewis Spring Falls, where the loop runs 3.3 miles and climbs hard. Sixteen falls sit inside the radius.

Located at 38.7390°N, -78.6510°W
