A 4.3-mile out-and-back in Tennessee, with 1,247 ft of climbing. Reaches Goodwin Field Gap and other pass/summit destinations. Managed by the U.S. Forest Service.
The climbing leans toward the first third: 50% of the ascent falls between mile 0.0 and mile 1.4. It gives back about 944 ft along the way, so it rolls rather than climbing steadily.
