Price Mountain, Sulphur Ridge Loop
4.9 miles, moderate terrain
>15 miles from Roanoke, $2.50 carpool fee
Located along the border of Craig and Botetourt County,
about 15 miles north of Roanoke, this loop hike offers a great sense of
isolation for being so close to Roanoke. The trailhead begins on VA 606 and
descends for one mile into a quiet valley. After a creek crossing, the route
climbs to the top of Price Mountain on the Sulphur Ridge Trail. At the crest of
the mountain, the route turns right onto the Price Mountain Trail. The trail
then descends along the ridgeline, with views into the Craig Creek valley, to
return to the trailhead.
