GA A.T. Side Trails: Rocky Mountain Trail Loop
I started this rocky strenuous trail at Unicoi Gap where the Appalachian Trail crosses GA 75. From the highway the AT climbs 0.9 miles to the junction with the Rocky Mountain Trail. Years ago the Rocky Mountain Trail was part of the original route of the AT. Continuing on the AT instead the hiker is rewarded with excellent views at the summit of Rocky Mountain then descends 900 feet to Indian Grave Gap and FS 283 at 2.7 miles. Turning left on the road in 0.6 mile the Rocky Mountain Trailhead is reached. Follow the trail for 1.8 miles to the junction with the AT.
Excellent wildflower displays along the entire route in late April.

My favorite part. Thank you the fall most don't pay attention to thank you.
You are so welcome!
Very nice video! Thanks for sharing it. It is a pretty spot to take a walk. The old Collins Creek Manway used to be a maintained park path that went up and joined Thomas Divide Trail.
Thanks for the info!
Awesome video
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow, that was a workout! Thanks for posting!
Yes it was!
Are there any spots where you can view waterfalls from this trail?
Sorry, no waterfalls on this trail and no views until you get to the AT. A nice forest hike though. 🌲🌲😊
Cool video, great quality. Been there a few times. The landslide had caused some damage on the section where the vertical shafts are. From the looks of it you didn't get to see that
Hey dieselwelds, thanks for the compliment. Actually I did check out the storm damaged areas on my favorite Smithgall Woods trail. I considered filming that section as well, but didn’t feel good about it. A week later I told a ranger at the visitor center I thought about posting the damaged section and he said, “Please, please, please don’t do that”.
Nice trail.
Such a beautiful place! Thanks for the video!
Great video…I like your hiking pace…you got plenty of changeable weather as well.
Makes me miss the trail.
Hey Loner! I’ve recently retired and plan on getting in some serious trail time. Looking to go up to Virginia next year and pick up where I left off on my way to Katahdin.
Nice video, thanks for the filming. I have walked that section a couple of times. Good memories.
Looks good
I like this catchy tune.
I stayed at Uncle Johnny’s and at Indian Grave gap on my NOBO. Indian Grave gap was a really nice camping spot.
I AM GOING BACK SOON. CANNOT WAIT
Beautiful 😍 we rode through this area headed back to Atlanta last week I can’t wait to go back
Nice video! Thanks for sharing
Beautiful vid up in NC close to my cabin! I am going back asap! I am terrified of bears but in almost 9 years of living up there, we have been blessed to never have even seen one! We have seen much other wildlife. I love your peaceful, beautiful vid! Are you hiking the Appalachian Trail right now? God is love! 🙏✌💕👣💙☺👣Be safe! May the Lord bless you!
I finished the last mile in the dark walking by headlamp. Two bears 🐻🐻 came charging down the mountain past me; one in front and the other behind. A few yards further a copperhead snake lay in the trail so I had to wait for it to slither off. Didn’t see another hiker the entire time.
Outstanding video- subscribed- drop by my channel and hit the subscribe button
"Actually let's go to the bar" lol Great look vista!
Do you remember what time of day this video was taken? It's amazing.
Well, the elk usually come into that field late in the afternoon or early evening. So I started shooting the video about an hour or two after lunchtime.
surprised there is no graffiti in the shelter.
Wow a lot of people 😳 , regardless so beautiful!!
I might be checking out this trail this weekend! Looks like a great hike, can't wait to see it in person.
One of my all time favorite hikes, especially on a foggy day. Great video 👍
Beautiful
So beautiful, peaceful and relaxing 😌 Thanks for sharing 👍
Beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing!!
I have been to the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area a dozen times in my 48 years alive but never visited Cades Cove. We did a few weeks ago and I can't wait to go back. So much history and beauty there. Thanks for posting this video.
We waked that trail last Sept. Its really nice.
Caught a sunrise at NFG last year. Was amazing.
Awesome video! Love this spot! Was at Dry Falls last week and it was super packed!! Cheers
I've been wanting to hike to the "Lost Hiker Tunnel" very cool place it looks. Newfound Gap always seems busy even in the rain haha. But beautiful views driving through there!
Probably one of the best kept secrets in the park. I’ve been to Newfound Gap more times than I can remember and only recently found out about the tunnel from another CZcamsr (Hiking with Braids). The tunnel is about 100 yds. past the air quality monitoring station and pullout just inside the gate on Clingmans Dome Road. Look for a short span of retaining wall and go past it into the woods. It’s steep going down the hill. The tunnel is on the right.
Awesome section of the AT! Little crowded at times but definitely falls off as you make your way to Paul's Bunion! Cheers
Actually it’s Charlie’s Bunion. The crowd is almost gone a few hundred yards up the trail.
@@november151956 I guess it depends on the day of the week as well. It is straight up for a while and not many people except hikers like that type of terrain! Cheers
Nice job at capturing some of the trail
Thanks for sharing! I'm doing a virtual journey on the AT. I'm walking locally and comparing my mileage to the AT map. I'm at 18.8 miles so almost to Woody Gap. I'm a senior so I can only do a mile or two at a time. Beautiful video.
Glad you like the video!
Definitely one of my favorite hikes in Georgia!
Love it thier
Immortality served up with music straight from the heart, how it stirs my spirit and quickens my soul. What a blessing.
The Music is "A Long Way Ahead" by Kevin Macleod. I found it using Spotify, he has a CZcams channel.
I remember hiking this trail when I was really young. Thanks for sharing. Just subbed!
Thanks for the share! I need to take my wife and son here.
I can only pray that someone might sit and admire something I built with my two hands 100 yrs from now
Nice video, I love Cherokee and the surrounding area
Amen.
Can anyone tent by the visitors center?
The field in the thumbnail picture is across the road from the visitors center. I assume campers can tent there year round.
What is the distance from uncle johnnys to Indian grave gap?
It's 8.4 miles.
Are they highly likely to be there? We will be there tomorrow....Gale storm and rain all day
Dawn and dusk are the best times to see the elk. Large animals though tend to bed down during rainy weather so I doubt they will be out in the fields.
Thanks for sharing. 🙂👍
Thank you for taking the time to share this with everyone! We plan to go there for the first time in October and appreciate your beautiful video!
Thanks Becky! Glad you like the video.
