"This trail was pretty brutal. The rains clearly brought a ton of growth. We had snips and shears, but there was still a ton of bushwacking and scouting for the best path forward. Going up to Peak 2843 and down along the ridgeline to Silver Mt was pretty intense, but saved us having to double back, which frankly would have made or broken this second peak today. It was pretty windy, but weather was otherwise perfect, and even with a mild temp and frequent breezes this one was tough. For a short hike, bring more snacks than toy expect, more water than you expect, and something to cut brush down. Hiking poles are basically a must on this one. " — MaxwellsDeamon • Mar 7, 2026

"This is one very tough, godawful climb - both up and down. Once you clear the cow pie minefields, it is pretty much straight up with few areas to pause and rest due to the steepness and the loose volcanic rock and scree. Geat views from the summit, but darn tough. Found a geocache at the top too. " — rick-brown • Mar 7, 2026

"Steep climb for part of it. Crampons and ice axe necessary. Trail is mostly packed down and icy except for one short section of snow. Really fun climb with great weather for the peak. Was 20 degrees with 12 mph winds. Glissaded nearly the whole way down. Summit to parking lot in 2hrs 15. Ascent took 5hr 45min." — Nao • Mar 6, 2026

"Hiked from visitor center via Arkaquah Trail to Chimney Top and Blue Bluff (Locust Log Ridge on GA4000 materials). Bushwhacking required to Locust Log. Returned and hiked Jacks Knob trail to Wolfpen Ridge." — CaptainKudzu • Mar 6, 2026
