The Bearfence trail leads up to a steep slope that eventually turns to a rock scramble to the summit of Bearfence Mountain. It is one of only three summits in the park that has a 360 degree view. Most of the section of the trail includes scrambling up and down on the ridge of the mountain before returning back to a regular hiking trail. The trail is parallel to the Appalachian trail (AT), so you can take the AT trail to loop back down the mountain to Skyline Drive. The scramble and view makes this trail very unique in Shenandoah.
If you are reasonably fit and flexible should be able to handle the scramble to the summit. There is an exposed section and sheer drop before the summit, so beware if you have an issue with heights. This is also definitely not the trail for pets and small kids that might have difficulty scrambling up the rocks.
