Length: 3.5 miles
Rating: Moderate/Strenuous
The trail continues along a tributary, crossing it several times on
rocks and logs. This can be wet and slippery. On the ridge line at the top
(approximate elevation 4100 feet) there are three overlooks with views of
Blue Valley.
For the Chinquapin Mountain trail, take the trail on the right from the
Glen Falls parking area and cross the East Fork on a large log bridge. The
second trail head for Chinquapin Mountain starts on NC 106 and makes a
one-quarter mile descent to its Junction with the trail from Glen Falls.
After the junction of the two trails, the Chinquapin trail ascends to the
top on a set of ten switchbacks.
