Apr 12, 2026 · Google ReviewBeautiful views. Steep at times but not that far to walk for someone relatively fit.
May 17, 2025 · Google ReviewWhat a hidden gem! Randomly came across this trail online and I'm so glad we checked it out! Definitely high on my list of favorites because these views were stunning!! 😍
Aug 10, 2024 · 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!
