Description
The Mary Hollow Trail is a dirt/gravel singletrack path, which winds through a wide hollow and creek. Take the Devils Backbone Trail out, or stay on the trail as it follows Crooked Branch out to the North Fork River. A good view of the "Devils Backbone" ridge can be seen from below. However, this trail is very poorly maintained with several sections with downed trees and brush. GPS guidance is a must as it is easy to lose the trail here along the dry creek bed.
