Three more trails on the Terrifying 25 checked off.
Chemin des Dames we went up and down it. It is really quick and not too difficult. It starts off with bouldering, then goes through a narrow cave, and then finally makes its way up to the top of the rim over loose rock.
Great Gully Trail is a top contender for abandonment. This trail is clearly not used by most. It is overgrown and most of the rocks are covered in wet moss. The narrow rock has a sheer drop on one side of it but I kind of just motored past it and did not even realize I had gone past it until after I did. When the elevation gain starts to settle the trail seems to take forever to finally get to Thunderstorm Junction.
Air Line Trail apparently has a knife edge, but I never really saw it. This trail is nice until the junction with Chemin des Dames and then it goes into the woods and has terrible footing on wet slippery rocks that are covered in leaves. It made for a long slough back to Appalachia. |
