Description
From the River Bluff trail this short loop climb up a graveled doubletrack road. At the point, there is an opening with many rock ledges over looking the Tennessee River. A great view, made even better by a full moon after dark! The road turns back and climbs a bit more to the top of Armstrong Hill before descending quickly to connect back into itself.
