Rocky Mountain Trail
The first leg of a loop over Rocky Mountain
Description:
The trail begins as an old roadbed past the High Shoals trailhead and is marked with blue blazes.
The trail follows the roadbed for almost a mile before turning away and gradually beginning its ascent toward the top of the mountain. The hike ends at its intersection with the Appalachian Trail, but hikers may choose to turn left onto the AT to complete the loop over the mountain (the loop is 3.5 miles long).
