Thumbnails to Show You the Way
- From the parking area, cross the road and enter the trail. Go around the rocks and head uphill.
- At the first intersection, turn right. This is the Appalachian Trail.
- Continue walking, looking for the white blazes. You will be following the white blazes the entire time on the trail.
- The trail has lots of roots, so watch your footing. One section may get wet and muddy, but there is a higher portion of the trail built to keep your feet dry.
- Keep walking, keep walking, keep walking. You will come to a spot where a tree has fallen over the trail. Carefully step over it (unless it was removed).
- Continue on the path until you reach the end of the path at Ridge Road. The post will be found on a tree with a white blaze to the left of the path (close to 0.75 mile/20 minutes into the walk).
- To return, turn around and go back the way you came to the parking area.
