Description
The Harris Creek Trail is a nice link up with Woods Mountain Trail and Falls Branch Rd. The trail mostly winds through coves and is mostly a manageable grade other than a couple pitches towards the end that make you want to slow down. It's a good midweek out-and-back hike if you start from Toms Creek Rd and hike a bit of the MST first.
