Breathe taking view from Pickens Nose! Made the hike on October 16th 2026 and the colors were beginning to show a little North of where we were. The hike isn't that bad depending on your abilities. Recommend a walking stick or two if you have a bad back as you will come across some stair steps and roots along the way. Hydration isn't necessary, but wouldn't hurt as it is a moderate climb to the top.
Oct 19, 2026 ยท Google ReviewA great hike with awesome views at the summit. This trail is just off the Appalachian Trail. Be careful driving up to the trailhead. You will need a vehicle with some clearance for this dirt road. Multiple switchbacks. The hike is relatively easy. The views are so worth the drive!

Apr 12, 2026 ยท Google ReviewA FANTASTIC unknown trail! This trail is just off the Appalachian Trail itself. Be careful driving up to this trail. It will be a 20 minute drive on a 1 lane dirt road. The road is very close to the edge of the mountain so it was a bit scary driving up in the early morning before sunrise. But TOTALLY worth the drive.
