Most of the Art Loeb Trail is overlapped by the Mountains-to-the Sea
Trail which is blazed with 3-inch white dots. Section 1 begins at the
Davidson River and climbs steeply to Shut-in Ridge. Once up, don't expect
that the hard part is over. This trail will take you up and down knobs,
along ridges and down into several gaps. Blaze: White
Directions:
Go 0.2 mile south of Pisgah District Ranger Station on U.S. Highway
276, and turn onto the road to Davidson River Campground. Park in the Art
Loeb Trailhead parking lot. The other end of this section is at Gloucester
Gap on FS Rd. 471, where overnight parking is not recommended.
