Description
This trail branches off Turkey Trail and climbs up to Sky Peak Road. It crosses over the road and runs moderately to the Appalachian Trail. It climbs up a small ridgeline, laden with mountain laurel and hemlocks. At McCarthy Road, the trail becomes less maintained. It runs straight, then turns left (at the snowmobile arrow). It ends when it reaches Brace Road.
