Overview

This is a moderate loop trail in Pisgah National Forest. Pretty easy up and down for kids5+ and that friend who doesn't hike much. Very crowded at the lot.

This trail goes by Cat Pen Gap and Cat Gap.


This is an alternate route for Cat Gap Loop.

    The John Rock loop is a great hike with some challenging elevation gain to a rocky overlook. Great views at the outcropping including Looking gGass Rock. The trail itself offers a wide variety of landscapes - streams and cascades, Davidson River, and mature coves.
