Trail Overview

This road is located in Michaux State Forest, Southeast of Shippensburg, Pennsylvania. The road's northern end contains the high point near Big Hill, then decreases in elevation until Dead Woman Hollow is reached. The famous Appalachian Trail crosses this road on the northern end. Just south of Tom's Run is a pull-out with 4 steep ramps to attempt to climb via vehicle. The road connects Highway 233 and Ridge Road. Cell service is poor, so be sure to download offline maps.

Gravel forest road wide enough to maneuver around vehicles in the opposite direction. No difficulty other than the occasional hole.

First time out there and I will be back! This trail climbs to the ridge and has one nice hairpin turn. Stunning views and foliage is in peak.
