Description
This blue-blazed trail stretches gradually between Brown Mountain Trail and Big Run Portal Trail. With around 1000' of elevation change over the course of nearly three miles, this makes for a moderate descent or climb. Be ready for one steep section, less than three-tenths of a mile from the Brown Mountain Trail junction. Thanks to Larry W. Brown, for sharing this trail description.
