For reasons understood by only the Forest Service, Fullhardt Knob Fire Road and Fullhardt Knob Shelter are not on Fullhardt Knob. This is a view of the actual Fullhardt Knob taken as seen from trail as it descends southbound to Tollhouse Gap. This picture was taken at approximately mile 9.5.

For the southbound hiker the trail enters a pasture after crossing VA 652, crosses a small stream via a railroad-tie foot bridge, and then steeply ascends a grassy slope in pasture to the marker shown at the crest of the hill. Turn right from here, cross pasture to a stile and enter woods, gradually descending. Northbound hikers cross stile into this pasture and ascend gently to the marker shown, then turn left steeply down the hill.
