Description

From the trailhead, runners will follow blue blazes for the Blue Ridge Trail. The trail passes through wooded and meadow areas. At approximately 2 miles, runners will reach the Red Knob Overlook that provides a nice glimpse of the surrounding mountains. Runners then descend for about a mile and loop back to the parking area.
