}}Big Schloss is a peak in the Great North Mountain range of the Ridge and Valley Appalachians, with an elevation of {{convert|2964|ft|m}}.[2] The peak is located in George Washington National Forest on the border of Virginia and West Virginia, though according to Topozone, the actual summit is in Virginia.[2] The trail is part of the Lee Ranger District. It features a rocky outcropping of white sandstone with expansive views into Trout Run Valley in West Virginia and Little Schloss Mountain in Virginia.[2][3]German settlers gave Big Schloss its name. Schloss is German for "castle", and the name is a reference to the rocky outcrop.[2][3] German was the common language in the area for several years.[3]

A number of hiking trails lead to Big Schloss. Hikers may ascend from Wolf Gap via the Mill Mountain trail, or a circuit hike coming from FDR Rt. 92.[3] The Potomac Appalachian Trail Club maintains the trails leading up to Big Schloss. A bridge provides access to the Big Schloss rock outcropping. In the Fall of 2010, the bridge was replaced with new stairs, 20' of new handrails, and two new concrete abutments.[4]
