Point of information is that the first cul-de-sac parking lot reached on the gravel road is for Rogers Ridge Horse Trail. Veer to the right to continue back to the dead end cul-de-sac with a trail marker for [[Gentry Creek Falls]] trail. | |||

Since the trail is a horse trail, it starts with a creek ford but soon it is an uphill climb. It reaches a ridge and follows near it most of the way. At a fairly high point, it sort of goes through the yard of a house and then continues through woods a short distance to a road, which then leads on to the summit and beyond. Once it opens up to grassy fields, the views are splendid. Trail/road swings right to go almost east for about a half mile to the state line. A left turn past the summit leads down perhaps 100 yards to the marked tricorner point of VA-Tenn-NC. | |||
A point of caution, when returning stay together to be sure to turn off the road where the trail starts. | |||
