There are several areas where poison ivy hugs the trail.

Description

This is a steep trail with grades exceeding 30% at times.

Park at the Jewel Hollow Overlook and run east on the AT for ~0.2 miles. The Leading Ridge Trail branches off to the north.

No access from Route 669; this is private property.

Flora & Fauna

Be wary of ticks. Pulled two off my leg and my partner's leg.
