Description: Head back down the highway to find the trailhead. The trail is on the left side of the road as you head back towards Hwy 280. Follow the blue blazed trail. Combine this trail with Thrift Cove by way of Grass Rd. for a longer ride. This trail has some extreme downhill and some pretty serious elevation change. Very similar to North Slope.

This is one of my favorite trails, although I generally ride it the opposite way as posted (I've ridden both ways) If you go up grassy roads first its easier uphill and more technical singletrack downhill. You can also combine black mtn to thrift cove to grassy roads to sycamore to make a lengthier ride. It normally takes me around 45 mins to an hour to ride grassy roads and sycamore

This is another of my favorite short rides in Pisgah, especially when combined with North Slope across the street during the winter. First half of the climb is pretty technically challenging, and indeed there is one section that I'm sure if I've ever made. It's nonetheless quite fun, and the second half is more mellow. The downhill is quite fast, with some decent technical challenge, though it is accordingly over quickly. A log bridge has recently been added to the bottom, which is welcome in that it avoids both soft ground and adds technical challenge.

Cool trail. Pretty rhododendron tunnels, fun final downhill. I have to walk my bike up the begining though (if you start on the super steep end). I like Thrift Cove much better, of course.
