The trail passes through two of the cutting units from the Cast Steel
Timber Sale. The first unit
was a thinning at the beginning of the trail next to Route 600.
The second unit was a clearcut further up the trail, that is
regenerating naturally. Some
great views of Warm Springs Mountain and the Covington areas are available
in many places along this first section.
After leaving the second sale unit, the trail becomes steeper.
Grass covers the tread and this section is not marked as well.
Overall
the trail is in pretty good condition.
The hike to the top and back down to the parking area will take
approximately 2.5 hours.
Directions:
Morning Knob Trail is reached
from Covington by taking Route 18 south and turning right onto Route 614.
Then turn left onto Route 600. The trailhead is on the left side of
the road after about 1/2 mile.
