Description

The trail doesn't gain or lose much elevation and has some great views of Douthat State Park. Some of the trail is very narrow, so be careful and stay on the mountain.

Follow the 'Wisps'. But be mindful...black bear make their home in these Virginia hills. Nearing the entrance to Pete's Cave and to the steps up through your hike-a-bike reservation. Beware the use of super wide bars. :)
