    Hiking

    Bear Pen Gap Trail is a pleasant trail of 3 miles that leads you to Albert Mountain summit by way of lush green forest, with wildflowers and wildlife all around the trail. This is not the most popular access to Albert Mountain, which makes it more remote. It is possible to make a loop with Appalachian Trail and Hurricane Trail.
