Description

At 1.9 miles, this is a short but beautiful trail that connects the Litton Farm Loop Trail to the Grand Gap Loop Trail. The trail features a rock shelter, small waterfalls, a view of Angel Falls Overlook from the Fall Branch side, and a few nice camping spots for backpackers. Though the trail is rolling, it's not overly strenuous, and well worth the effort.
