Has anyone hiked Sugar Knob recently, and if so, can you give me some insight into the current trail? Is it well marked? I’m thinking about doing an overnight backpack this weekend given the unseasonable warmer weather.
Filtering on Hiking Upward suggests this is a Goldilocks trail for what I’m after, but the last post was four years ago. I’m looking for a medium difficulty hike with plenty of camping options, reliable access to water I can filter, and decent views. Mostly, I’m looking for a little solitude and a well marked trail.
TIA!
I just did the Pond run trail (marked as Tuscarora on my map) up to the ridge intersection with Half moon trail last night.
The trail is clear - well marked and easy to follow. There are a couple of small trees down that are easily stepped over. There are a number of stream crossings and they all have either stepping stones or a log crossing.
