Old Rag Mountain is one of the most famous and challenging hikes in the Mid-Atlantic, offering panoramic views, steep rock scrambles, and a true wilderness adventure. Starting in Etlan, hikers can access the trailhead and begin an 8–9-mile loop that includes narrow rock passages and stunning mountain-top vistas. The hike attracts outdoor lovers from across the region and often fills up parking areas early in the day. As a result, transportation is an ideal way to arrive stress-free. The trail is well-marked and includes safety signage, but the physical demand requires preparation, making reliable drop-off and pickup services essential. Our taxi service is perfect for solo hikers, couples, and groups looking to tackle the trail without the parking stress.
