Pied is a simple connector trail that is primarily used to access the Iceman trail and connect other trails to create a dirt route between Nemo and Custer Gap. The trail surface is primarily hard-packed dirt, with small protruding rocks, a few gentle grades, and an occasional muddy depression. Trees along the trail are thin, providing a good amount of sunshine, but you won't encounter any type of views. There is no camping along this trail, but users can find dispersed camping along the intersecting Piedmont Road.
