Nine-mile, strenuous hike. This challenging but rewarding hike will take us through spruce and hardwood forests, along mountain streams, past waterfalls, and up a famed rock formations to great views. It involves two stream fords. It includes some lesser-visited areas of Dolly Sods as well as an area that sometimes draws crowds. There are some steep grades, though mainly on former logging roads and railroad grades with reasonable footing. The climb up and the descent of Lion’s Head involves a rocky scramble, which is optional.
