Description

This trail is mostly doubletrack and is the best way to climb to the top of Holston Mountain from the north side of the mountain. It climbs steeply at first but levels out to a steady climb after the first 0.75 miles. You'll cross several small creeks and have the opportunity to catch your breath at several nice lookouts. The end of the trail intersects with Holston Mountain West Trail.
