With ladders, ropes, roots, and rocks, this is one of the gnarlier trails in the Black Mountains. Often used as a just an uphill route, this trail is super steep in places. Because it climbs so much elevation so quickly, the views come early on this trail!

fabulous trail that has just reopened after Hurricane Helene caused extensive damage in the area last September.
