Land OwnerNantahala NF, Cheoah Ranger District
Has one long, fast singletrack downhill, with a gradual climb up to it. Good views. Trail passes over neat clearcut hills. In one spot, you can see the trail snaking over on the next ridge. Watch how quickly the forest can change as you go in and out of coves and along ridges.
