Route Description

Upon Camp Creek Bald, find the blue blazes down the middle of a paved road which is the spur trail over to the AT. Head north-bound on the white-blazed AT for 0.4 miles. In a turn, there is a brown sign stated Blackstack Cliff for an unmarked spur trail up the hill. Continue through the rhododendron to a stone ledge with a US Forest benchmark. Take the big steps down and proceed through more rhododendron until you emerge at the cliffs.
