The ultimate adventure guide

The beginning of the Old Rag Trail. After about a mile the trail narrows, and you begin to gain elevation.
Along the way to the peak, there are many spots to stop and rest for a great view.

A nice place to sit and dip your feet in the water, where you will hear the small waterfall in the last mile of the fire road on your way back to the Old Rag parking lot.
The parking lot 8:00 a.m. on a very busy weekend.
