You may not be on trails after dark with lights because it interferes with UNCA's Telescopes.

Need to Know

There are many short spur trails that are in this area and nothing is marked. This combination makes it difficult to way find, but the area is relatively small so if you get lost just keep hiking and you'll eventually hit a road and be able to find your way back to your car.
