Appalachian Trail: Sinking Creek Mountain

This section of the AT follows the often narrow, rocky crest of Sinking Creek Mountain. The scenery varies from deep woods to open fields as the trail crosses over steep ledges and rocky outcrops, offering passing views into Sinking Creek Valley and Craig Creek Valley. Early spring is a particularly good time for this hike because of the multitude of wildflowers budding throughout the area then. Aside from a steep climb at one end and a steep descent at the other, the trail follows a fairly level course. Natural history features: Sinking Creek Mt.; Keffer Oak. Social history feature: Cemetery near Sarver Cabin.
