This 2.2 mile (one way) trail starts at Wolf Gap Campground.
Take exit 279 off I-81, turning West on SR 675.
Follow SR 675 to STOP sign at VA42 in small community of Columbia Furnace.
Turn right on VA42, then left off VA42 back onto SR675, now called Wolf Gap Road.
Make sharp left turn after crossing one-lane bridge to stay on SR 675.
Go 3 miles and bear right after trash collection station.
Ascend, still on SR675, for 3.4 miles.
Wolf Gap Campground is on your right in the gap. Park there.

At Wolf Gap campsite 9, take orange blazed trail marked with a sign that
says Big Schloss and Mill Mountain.
Follow the trail for two miles.
You'll come to another sign that says Mill Mountain 4 with an arrow ahead,
and Big Schloss 1/4 with an arrow right.

At the sign, look into the woods at 100* and you will see a dead tree about 10 yards in.
Behind this dead tree, about 15 feet up on the rock ledge is the Wolf Gap stamp.

To get to the stamp, take 23 steps up the Big Schloss trail.
At the protruding rock in the path, turn right off the path and walk past the dead tree to climb up the hill to get up on the rock ledge that is directly next to the tree.
The box is hidden in the ledge’s rock wall opposite the dead tree.

While you are this far up the trail, only 1/4 further is Big Schloss.
The view there is amazing!

Let me know what you thought of the view at Big Schloss - and/or the status of my letterbox.
