In reply to Jeff Clark, Meanderthals. there is one place where you will encounter a huge white rock blocking the trail which is on a narrow ridge. go right up over it. there were a few blowdowns along the way. i enjoy the isolation of this place and have never seen anyone else up there. absolutely beautiful and worth the trouble to get there. happy trails.

In reply to ruthless terrier. This is one I want to revisit as soon as the BRP reopens for Spring.

i have done the trail from yellow face to blackrock. also i have been up to blackrock from pinnacle park which is 2800 vertical feet. always great to be in the spruce fir zone of the plott balsams.

In reply to Tom Layton. Tom, I have not done the other end. I have come up from Pinnacle Park in Sylva.

Jeff, have you done the other end of this ridge? I’m thinking about hiking Waterrock Knob to Lyn Lowry to Plott Balsam this spring. I didn’t find a trip report here. I appreciate all that you do through this blog. Tom Layton ([email protected])

After four strenuous hikes in Virginia I was delighted by your own trek. been wanting to go to Waterrock and it is now on the list for late spring.
