A good day hike that I recommend is starting at the Bowlens Creek trailhead and hike to the top of Celo Knob and back. It's about 9 miles round trip. The trail up from Bowens Creek is a "normal" trail with no technical areas or rock scrambles but it is about 4 miles of unrelenting uphill the entire way. Your reward is the stunning views from the meadow below the summit of Celo Knob which are IMHO some of the best views in the entire state. The trailhead is only about 1.5 hours from Kingsport. | A good day hike that I recommend is starting at the Bowlens Creek trailhead and hike to the top of Celo Knob and back.
