Enjoyable hike especially when reaching the top where you will walk underneath a canopy of laurels and rhododendrons. Hemlocks dot the trail and you can catch distant views along the ridge off both sides. Enjoy a creekside, mountain climb, ridge top hike with some steep inclines on the Coontree Loop Trail. 50 min drive from Waynesville.
