Barneys Wall - Hike and Scenic Mountain Views Near Blacksburg Virginia Tech Area Recreation

Barneys Wall - Scenic Hike - Pembrook / Giles County, Virginia VA

Description: This scenic mountain view sets directly above the Cascades Water Fall. It is proceeded by a 3/4 mile hike down the mountain trail. Most of it is very moderate hiking. Due to low laying brush, I would not recommend a horse, maybe a mountain bike. This is not a highly publicized trail or look out and there is minimal parking off of the main fire trail road.
