The TEHCC is proud to maintain roughly 134 miles of the Appalachian Trail. The southern terminus of the TEHCC’s section is Spivey Gap, NC where the AT crosses US 19W after descending from High Rocks and Big Bald. From there, the Trail makes its way through the Unaka Mountains and the Roan Highlands. After descending from the Roan Highlands and meandering through the Laurel Fork Gorge, the Trail crosses Watauga Dam and follows the crest of Iron Mountain to Osborne Farm. Upon leaving the meadows of Osborne Farm, the Trail follows the ridge lines to the TN/VA state border where the TEHCC’s section ends (officially as of Spring 2013). Use the map below to explore the TEHCC’s section of the Appalachian Trail. You can also explore each section's individual page by using the table at the bottom of the page:

Probably counter-intuitively to get this site going in 2011 we began by focusing on the non-AT trails in the region. We felt that the information on the AT in this area is well documented on websites, books, and maps everywhere. Less well known are the other local trails. This information started with what was on the club's old website, but now is starting to evolve with the wiki use.
