Highlights
- Easy to see how it got its name while hiking Pine Mountain Trail along the ridge as slopes to both sides resemble a hog's back.
- One of the most popular sections of the Pine Mountain Trail is between Hogback Mountain and the TV tower featuring the best waterfalls and the largest grove of the pinkest Mountain Laurel in the park.

"Hiked Wolfden Loop clockwise from Rocky Point Parking Lot. Marnie met me at Csonka Falls, then we met a hiker who goes by Woodsman. Hope to hike with him again. Wolfden Loop is 6.7 miles according to maps and signs. I went off trail to peak of Hogback Mountain and to photograph Cascade Falls from another angle, so I estimate I hiked closer to 7 miles than 8. GPX recordings from both Peakery Beta and Peakbagger apps had a lot of noise such as elevation spikes (no, I did not climb any trees or towers, and I cannot jump that high!) and wandering loops (no, I was not failing a sobriety test!), so I used the Peakbagger app to clean up the GPS noise and posted the edited GPX file there." — davidensley • Jul 5, 2021
