Bit and Bridle Road.
This 0.9-mile trail on Burnt Mountain is the move when you need to stretch your legs without committing to a full day. Short enough to squeeze in before lunch, long enough to feel like you actually got out. It's a quick hit that delivers exactly what it promises and nothing more.
