Pete’s Cave Trail (and/ or North Mountain Trail) is a hidden gem! The trailhead parking area is along a steep gravel road and accommodates about four cars. Once you park, you head just a few yards down the road to pick up the trail. This ridge-line hike along the border of Rockbridge and Allegheny Counties offers abundant, breathtaking views of the surrounding area and of Big and Little House Mountains. Because you are ridge-running, this is a relatively flat trail with lots of trees, ferns, and large rocky outcroppings, where you get those great views. The trail, however, can be a little hard to follow at points due to sparse blazes and occasional overgrowth.
