Description
After passing Buckwheat Knob, the trail descends steeply to Bennett Gap and the intersection with the other trails. The trail is marked by yellow blazes.
In September, 2019, the trail was updated under an RTP grant by Pisgah Area SORBA. The trail was largely designed for travel to the south and includes many approx. 3ft drops along route.
