Trail Little Hickory Top
Nice and steady climb up to greens lick. Takes longer than some routes but not too steep

Trail Little Hickory Top
I saw a Honda CR-V coming down this trail when I was going up today. I also came across a yellow jackets nest in the ground about 1/2 mile from the intersection with 5 points.
