Challenging and beautiful loop with gorgeous views, stream crossings, and open meadows. Highly discourage hikers from doing the RoundTop Ridge trail. Still recovering from a forest fire five years ago, the trail is in disarray and overgrown. Our family removed several ticks after passing through overgrowth. The AT is always well groomed and a wonderful stretch
