Heading southbound on the Appalachian Trail (AT), this hike passes through several small hollows, unique rock formations, and two mountain streams. The first stream, Ashby Hollow, has a wooden footbridge as well as a stream side campsite. This section of the AT is also affectionately known as the Roller Coaster. The Rod Hollow Shelter is a popular camping spot with several flat tent pad sites.
