The beginning of the Old Rag Trail. After about a mile the trail narrows, and you begin to gain elevation.
Along the way to the peak, there are many spots to stop and rest for a great view.
Follow the light blue-blazed trail. Sometimes blaze marks are difficult to find. They will help you to follow the easiest route.
You will come across many false summits. Keep going, it's worth it!
The view at the Old Rag summit. There is a large area to rest, take pictures, and have a snack before heading back down the mountain.

A nice place to sit and dip your feet in the water, where you will hear the small waterfall in the last mile of the fire road on your way back to the Old Rag parking lot.
The parking lot 8:00 a.m. on a very busy weekend.
