A 12.3-mile network in Tennessee, with 2,072 ft of climbing. Reaches Low Gap and other pass/summit destinations. Managed by the U.S. Forest Service.
The climbing leans toward the final third: 51% of the ascent falls between mile 8.2 and mile 12.4. It gives back about 1,449 ft along the way, so it rolls rather than climbing steadily.
