One of the less traveled hikes in the Shenandoah National Park, the Broad Hollow circuit isn't published in any major hiking guides to date. With a limited number of parking spaces along SR681, you generally don't see more that four cars, even in the busiest seasons. Start the hike by crossing Broad Hollow Run, and climbing the Broad Hollow Run Trail for 2.5 miles, through several switch backs, and with a few steeper areas, before arriving at the the intersection of the Sams Ridge Trail where you will turn left. After 0.1 miles the Sams Ridge Trail arrives at the Hazel Mountain Trail. Turn left on the Hazel Mountain Trail and in 0.4 miles pass the Catlett Mountain Trail on the right. Continue another 0.8 miles and pass the Hot Mountain/Short Mountain Trail also on the right. Continue downhill as the trail now becomes the Pine Hills Gap Trail. Then in 1.8 miles the trail exits the Shenandoah National Park, and in another 0.2 miles the Pine Hills Gap Trail ends at a dirt road. Turn left on the dirt road, and in 0.2 miles pass a gate blocking the road to traffic. Continue another 0.2 miles on SR681 to return back to the parking area. http://www.hikingupward.com/SNP/BroadHollow/
