Trail Overview

The trail is accessed from Water Holler and connects to Lycan's Ridge. It is very rocky and rutted on a fairly steep incline. Please be cautious and pick your lines near the top. The pictures don't do the rock garden justice. These rocks are somewhat large and difficult to navigate.
