At the northern end, an old stone chimney greets you at the start of the trail. The road winds its way along the lower portions of Big Piney Mountain, Black Rock, and Middle Knob. It is mostly gravel, and the rocks can become baseball to softball-sized, where it crosses any runoff. The road is suitable for any high-clearance vehicle. It dead ends at private property, but you can take Hester on its southern end to return to the pavement. A handful of dispersed camping sites can be found along the trail, and they are large enough to accommodate one to two vehicles.
