A flat section of this ridge line offers secluded sites for tent and hammock camping. The cool, grassy areas are wonderful in the summer, and the falls colors spectacular. There is not much (if any) water to be found between Greasy Cove Prong creek at the bottom, and few places with water at the Art Loeb trail intersection, so make sure and stock up if you plan to camp on the ridge.
