Little Schloss in the George Washington National Forest is the sister hike to the more famous Big Schloss. Probably with reason… unlike Big Schloss, this one is a climb all the way to the top. On a fall day with foliage colors popping, all that work to a nearly empty summit is beyond worthwhile!

Though a gentle and short hike at just under 3 miles, Tibet Knob in the George Washington National Forest offers spectacular views. While probably not worth the long drive from D.C. by itself, the hike would make a good combination with Big Schloss or a camping trip to Wolf Gap.
One of several beautiful hikes in the Wolf Gap camping area, Big Schloss will get the heart and legs pumping in the first mile. Then the trail mostly levels out through a forest path. There are several beautiful views throughout the trail but the big reward is at the summit.
