Open to hikers, equestrians, and recently mountain bikes.

Need to Know

This trail is popular with equestrians, so please control your speed and follow the rules of the trail.

Description

This trail has it all; tight technical switchbacks, fast exposed sidehill trail, and awesome views. Starting on top of Holston Mountain on Panhandle Road, the trail quickly drops off the north side of the mountain. After a series of tight switchbacks and fast open sections, you are quickly down the mountain. The trail crosses Flatwoods Horse Trail #46 and becomes swoopy and flowy until it drops out on Big Creek Road.
