Very green, cool waterfalls. Views at the top were splendid. Trail finding was not too bad very isolated. Only saw one group of 5 and otherwise not a soul. Lot of birds and insects, otherwise no other wildlife.

Three waterfalls. One that is epic. Fantastic views from the summit and while hiking through the burn scar. Remote and rarely used. Badly overgrown in the warmer months.

If you don’t mind getting your feet wet, this is the trail for you. Fantastic views from atop Big Scaly. Do it counter clockwise so you give your shoes time to dry out by the time you are back at the trailhead.
Don’t do this May - November. Overgrown and not well maintained trail. Maybe the reason why it’s not popular. Only other mammals we saw were wild pigs - which was incredible☺️

The loop was pretty packed with through hikers this last weekend and rangers added signage recommending bear cannisters because of the amount of bear activity and food stolen this last week. We were diligent and had no problems but we avoided camping at busy spots.

Very nice hike along Appalachian Trail that features some long range views from Standing Indian mountain.

Amazing backpacking trail with great views from Albert Mountain and Standing Indian Mountain. Plenty of camping options throughout. If you’re looking for something challenging, this is it!
