A new trail is being built to summit, but short by 200 yard which is finished on the old steep gravel road. The park website says at the summit that the following can be seen: The Peak, Three Top and Bluff Mountains, Mount Jefferson, Grandfather Mountain, Mount Mitchell, Mt Rodgers (VA), and the Iron Mountains in Virginia and Tennessee. | |||

The dirt path trails are in excellent condition as maintained by the National Park Service. Expect crowds during peak leaf season in October. Some wet spots have been reported on the Price Lake loop trail - especially after wet weather. | |||
