This trail is rated as "hard " by the All Trails website. Several parts of the climb were "pretty steep", but the trail itself is in excellent shape and well marked.
A part of the trail that we hiked (about 2.5 miles) was also coincidently a part on the of the Cumberland Trail as it passes thru the Frozen Head State Park. This is also the trail that I'm to lead a hike on at the fall TTA meeting. It should be beautiful by then.
We lunched at a picnic table/ camp site probably about 300 to 400 feet elevation below the Bird Mountain summit ( about 3100'). It brought back some memories of the only other time I'd been to that table. That was about 3 years ago when I hiked there with George and a lady from Illinois who hiked with our group for only a few months .
The weather for today's hike was very good as was the condition of the trail.
