Comments
Trail is 3/4 mile when it comes out of the woods. One full mile is at the top next to the cell towers. The best views are at the boulders up and to the left of when you come out of the woods. We'll hike over the top and through the woods to Little Bearwallow and back, for a round trip of around 5.25 miles.
A note about hornets and yellow jackets: Tis the season , and we've had encounters with them on recent hikes. If you have a known allergy and carry an EpiPen or other prescribed medication, please bring it with you on the hike. We're not able to provide or administer specialized allergy medication. We do keep Benadryl on hand for general reactions, but anything beyond that needs to be something you carry yourself.
