Description
A moderate trail due to the elevation gain and length. The summit is enlcosed in trees, however, the quarter mile leading up to the summit is open fields with panoramic views of the Blue Ridge in Tennesse and North Carolina. If your lucky enough you might catch a glimpse of the wild horses that are known to roam in the pastures. This is a great day hike or even an overnighter. There is an AT shelter only a half mile from the summit.
