The bluffs on this trail have some of the most breathtaking views of the Hiwassee Gorge and Cherokee National Forest. This 1.0 mile out & back trail is considered a moderately challenging steep route. It is not a well-groomed trail, and at times, it is hard to follow. It takes approximately 1 hr and gains roughly 580ft of elevation gain. The trailhead parking is 1.6 miles from the cabins at Fireside Outpost.
