This ride is steep, technical, and remote. Located on the North Carolina, Tennessee border, this is a true gem that is starting to get more recognition as a riding destination for mountain bikers from the Knoxville, TN and Asheville, NC areas looking for a more remote trail experience.
A mix of mostly steep, narrow singletrack that hangs on the side of the mountain with a more technical mix of rock strewn trail on the east side of Lone Pine Gap. This ride is highly recommended for more experienced riders who love true old style, rugged singletrack.

Chimney rocks trail head isn't actually until you get to paint mountain intersection. The first part of the trail on east side is forest road/double track.
