    Hiking

    There is a natural viewing 'window' between the trees from a rock jutting out from the mountain. You can access this viewing area by following a short spur trail (marked with blue blazes) from the main Appalachian Trail for a few hundred feet. The view from High Rock is most expansive in the winter and late fall when the leaves on the trees have mostly fallen.
