| From Daniel Ridge
Trail, the Farlow Gap Trail goes left, or west. This trail starts with a
moderate climb as it contours around Fork River Ridge and Daniel Ridge.
From here to Farlow Gap, the trail becomes steep, with several
switchbacks. Though it may be tempting at times, please do not leave the
main trail because short-cutting switchbacks causes erosion. The Farlow
Gap Trail, though strenuous at times, has great variety in scenery and
vegetation. Blaze: Blue
Directions:
Access
is either from the Art Loeb Trail at
Farlow Gap or from the Daniel Ridge Trail. See access to Daniel
Ridge Trail to find start of Farlow Gap Trail.
