About This Trail
The most straightforward route to the Old Rag Summit is through the Summit Ridge Trail. A lot of hikers climb up the ridge and then come back to the cars via the Weakley hollow fire road. The fire road is the one that ends around 2 miles from the summit, and goes straight over the saddle trail. The scenery is very wooded but when you get to the Saddle trail you can see some nice vistas.
