Parking is located at the end of Rootville Rd. It's a steep hike up a Class 4 road, but has a great view. Connect to the AT for a longer hike as well!

3-Miles round trip.

Do not block the road and do not park near or past the ‘No Parking” signs. The trail begins up the Old Rootville Road to a National Forest signboard where it continues past a spur trail and small brook before ascending steeply up the mountain, then levels off through the forest and climbs again with a steep drop-off on the right, before coming to the junction at 1.5 miles with Long Trail
