From Carver's Gap, take AT northbound up and over the balds. (Stay on the trail path!) At roughly two miles along the AT, a junction sign will show the spur trail up to Grassy Ridge, which climbs up an established rut (which can become a creek in the rain). Reach the rock outcropping at the summit. Read the dedication plaque to Cornelious Rex Peake. Have lunch. And then return by reverse route. | From Carver's Gap, take AT northbound up and over the balds. (Stay on the trail path!)

From the trailhead | From path from the trailhead over a couple of the balds has been specifically routed and hardened using gravel on geotextile. Stay on this path to avoid damage to the fragile landscape. Accessible year-around, thus can be snow covered trail in winter to summer rainshowers. High enough elevation to sometimes be "up in the clouds" as mist passed up and over the gap. | ||
