Beautiful part of the Appalachian Trail. Moderately challenging trail that takes about 3-4 hours and covers almost 8 miles of rocky terrain! Steep in several places so it's fun but challenging. The views are amazing! Wear hiking shoes, no sneakers. It alternates between ascent and descent rather frequently (the roller coaster). The overlook is beautiful.
