“The mostly forgotten Sidewinder Trail is a great way to make loop hikes in the area. ”

Description

The Sidewinder Trail is good if you want to do a quick loop. It follows a pink blaze up from the old fire road that is now Mudhole Gap. The other end is at Tuscarora - Bear Wallow Trail #405.2.

There is currently no sign at the Tuscarora - Bear Wallow Trail #405.2 end and the entrance to this trail can easily be passed.
