Pen Gap Trail is one of the most challenging trails on the Pisgah District, but
is also one of the most pristine. Be prepared to cover a series of steep
ascents and descents along the entire length of the trail. The trail
follows the top of a ridge.
The trail begins at Turkey Pen Gap and climbs steeply up to the top of
Sharpy Mountain. If you survive this climb, you will most likely finish in
good shape. An intersection with Wagon Road Gap Trail provides a loop hike
when combined with South Mills River
Trail. This trail ends at the Black
Mountain Trail. Plan to carry any water you will need, because most of the
trail is on a dry ridge.
