Join Liz for a pleasant hike on the lightly used and pretty Rich Mountain Trail. We’ll hike up to Indian Grave Gap Trail and on to a beautiful view from Cerulean Knob, the site of the old Rich Mountain fire tower.
Though the tower no longer stands, this is a very nice lunch spot. We’ll continue along Indian Grave Gap Trail, if time and desire allow. The Rich Mountain Trail elevation gain is about 1,600 feet over 2.3 miles, but we’ll be stopping to enjoy plant life, wildlife and scenery along the way. It’s going to be a super day!
