Hike Details - This is a circuit hike from the Jones Run Parking Area at MP 84 in the SNP. The first 2.4 miles is a steady loss of elevation down the Jones Run Trail to the Doyle's River Trail. There's then a steady elevation gain for 2.1 miles. We'll then take the Appalachian Trail for a relatively flat 3.4 miles back to the parking area. (Thanks Matt for the write up)
