Description

This is a gated forest service road with some great views of the Parkway, Pisgah Inn, Frying Pan, and Looking Glass rock. The road starts out as gravel then eventually tapers off to dirt doubletrack before it dead ends a few miles and over 600 feet of climbing later at the Horse Cove Gap Trail #325. The trail is the only connecting trail off of the road.
