This is going to be a STUNNING hike with views to ohhh and ahhh you the entire way; especially during PEAK leaf season! Romance scale is 15/10 !

We are doing a custom loop; Graveyard Ridge, Greasy Cove and Art Loeb looped together to create this 12.1 mile stretch. We will see two waterfalls as well as beautiful black balsam and Tennent mountain!

This area has little water so you will need to do a heavy water carry - 3-4 liters is recommended even in the fall with the exposure. Bring good snacks and a lunch to eat !

Rating Comparison: This hike can be compared to hikes like Max Patch.
