Description

The Harris Creek Trail is a nice link up with Woods Mountain Trail and Falls Branch Rd. The trail mostly winds through coves and is mostly a manageable grade other than a couple pitches towards the end that make you want to slow down. It's a good midweek out-and-back hike if you start from Toms Creek Rd and hike a bit of the MST first.

Their approach on Woods Mtn trail is 2+ miles before you get to this trail. So, length of hike is more like 5-5.5 miles (one way). 8.6mi
