    Tips

    Running

    The beginning and end section of this segment of the Appalachian Trail between Gathland Picnic Shelter and White Rocks gains a fair bit of elevation at the start and end, but the middle is fairly flat.

    It's a lovely, challenging run for those familiar with trail running. The ground can become rocky underfoot and tends to collect ice in the winter, so best completed in the warmer months.
