    This section of the Appalachian Trail between the Pine Knob Shelter and the actual ridge of Pine Knob is a good representation of what type of terrain the Appalachian Trail covers as it passes through South Mountain State Park. There are sections of rough trail with steps cut into the ground and lots of roots and rocks. That being said, there are some smooth sections, too, and there are plenty of forest and meadow views that just grow in magnitude as you make your way towards the nearby peaks.
