About This Trail
You can either take the longest route to Mt. Cammerer intersecting with the AT and then down Low Gap for a 15+ hike or you can return to the AT. The trail begins in the Low Gap area and then goes into a beautiful forest. There is a spur trail on the side of the mountain that has views of the valley. The campsite A, B, C, D and E are all protected by a hill and include a hitching post for horses. The trail goes past the campsite and becomes rocky before you reach the Appalachian Trail. Return to the same route from here.
