Highlights
- Devils Courthouse is a huge peak on the Blue Ridge Parkway with the top 200 or so feet on the east side of cliff faces.
- The trail is a paved path from the parkway to the summit.
- Rock climbing and rappelling have degraded the cliffs, so these activities are no longer permitted.

"Solo day hike hitting three Southern Sixers under sunny skies with passing clouds and mild temps. Parked in the Devil's Courthouse lot at 9:30am and made the quick hike up the semi-paved trail to the top of Devil's Courthouse for a spectacular view with the morning fog still lingering in the valley. A short connector trail runs from the Devil's Courthouse trail straight to the MST.
