| The trail begins at
Deep Gap (Elev. 2243'). There is a graveled USFS parking area on the west
side of Aska road about 100 yards south of the gap.
This section of trail begins at the parking lot,
and is approximately 15 minutes from Blue Ridge, Georgia. Parking is
also available in a small area near the end of USFS Road 711 for
hiking the trail east-west. This parking area is approximately 25
minutes from Blue Ridge, Georgia, and is a wide spot above road
about 2.2 miles after turning onto Campbell Camp Road. Roads to
either parking are paved and all-weather dirt-gravel roads suitable
for sedans.
This trail is easier to hike when coming from Deep
Gap and going toward Stanley Gap.
