Trail from the bottom of Bald Knob Ridge trail to second switchback on Laurel Run Road. A technical, not steep descent. A very good alternative taking the road down.

Access Info

Starts at lowest point of Bald Knob Ridge, in a big rock garden. Start has had downed trees placed along side to guide you into the start of the trail.
