Route Description

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.
