Point to Point
Starting near Carolina Hemlocks CG, this trail is one of the main access points to the Black Mountain Crest and helps form one of the only loops on this northern section of the Black Mountains. The trail is steep with a couple of good overlooks about midway. The trail is very technical, especially as you climb higher towards Deep Gap at its termination point.
All Clear
Trail well traveled, passed 4 people on this short hike, leaf litter in trail causing a bit of "off side" trail creation. trail very clear, not muddy. Bring adequate water and a snack to recharge at the top. Bear sign in trail, so be safe out there fellow hikers
