Description
Loop trail with some stairs / roots, but well-used so obstacles are generally easy to navigate. Steep sections are mild and short. Crosses over the Blue Ridge Parkway, but is well-marked with Blue and Yellow blazes on the Loop and White blazes on the MST portion. Joins the Mountains-to-Sea trail so can be connected with multiple other routes (including to the Folk Art Center).
