| Description |
Starting at the Chinese Mountains trailhead, we follow the South Chinese Trail to its juncture with Beech’s Mountain Trail. Along this trail we ascend many steep rock bluffs with spectacular views to the east, west and south from the open bluffs. At the top of Beech’s Mountain, we make a steep descent through the forest to an old rough logging road. Eventually the route veers away from the road onto mossy bluffs with convoluted route-finding using flagging tape. The route connects with the North Chinese Mountain Trail (essentially a steep rubbly old logging road) which we descend to the parking lot. Expect it to be hot. |

Thanks Les.
I would love to do this substitute hike. However, unfortunately my knee (old ski injury) is now giving me considerable problems, not helped by a âlegs onlyâ workout I did a few days ago so I will have to forego this great hike â¹ .
All the best
Val
