Dripping Rock is one of my favorite easy hikes. It consists of a segment of the Appalachian Trail that ends at a ridge with a excellent view. The trip up has some steep sections where some stairs have been set up, but is otherwise an easy climb. At the top, the old trail required a rock clamber, but you can now walk around the cliff face and come up from behind without any climbing.
Total Distance: 2.47 mi
Total climb: 574 ft
Altitude change: 405 ft
