Frozen Head State park is really so much closer than you think. We met up at panera bread close to Cedar Bluff and got to trail head in 50 minutes. The visitor center there is really nice and they have maps, t shirts and nice clean bathrooms. We chose a loop to get up to the tower off the old mac trails. We went up old south mac trail and it was pretty but PRETTY tough steady climb to the top 2.7 miles but felt like 3 at least. Then we walked up to a junction that shows to turn right to walk up old road to the tower. Yes tower worth it but the half mile seemed longer and again pretty steep. Gracie B my 11 year old a TrOOPER to do this with her old mom. Flowers really pretty and we saw sweet doe up there too. YOu can tell in spring these trails would be busting out with tons of wildflowers. We did see some pretty bee balm etc
Most of the crew came down the north mac trail which is longer lie 3.5 but they said it was not so rocky and they liked it. Gracie B and I had to come down same way due to mom having a meeting and she did a great job on this almost 8 mile hike.
