This place is amazing. The trail isn’t really a trail but it’s so worth it. if you enter through gee creek rd it’s only about half a mile to the top. It is an off beat path and there are no markings. The key is to keep going up.  it’s rough and the path is off road for sure. It is so worth it. Take it easy and take breaks. Also there are several natural springs as you make your way up so depending on rain it can get muddy. Def one of my favorite hikes in Tennessee. 

Heaven on earth 

Very intense hike up the mountain but the views are worth it! Hammock camping is ideal here, unsure of tent camping possibilities. Come prepared to hike hard and to experience unexpected weather if it occurs
