Length: 3.4 miles
Rating: Moderate
There are
outstanding views of Graveyard Fields and visibility as far as South
Carolina on clear days. See nature at its scenic best as you look across
Dark Prong and Greasy Cove toward Mt. Pisgah.
The first two miles
of this trail are for hikers only because of the fragile soils. After
leaving the Graveyard Fields Trail, you will climb through a grass bald up
to an old railroad grade. These soils are very susceptible to erosion, so
please stay on the main trail.

Turn left onto the old railroad grade. At
Dark Prong Gap the trail will become a road bed which is open to horses
and mountain bikes. It is also open seasonally to 4 wheel drives from
August through January 2nd. This trail ends at Lvestor Gap. Be aware of
changing weather conditions. If visibility is hampered due to fog, it is
recommended to avoid this trail, since it is easy to become disoriented in
these open areas. Blaze: Orange
Directions:
Walk
the Graveyard
Fields Trail counterclockwise until intersecting the Graveyard Ridge
Trail.
