Camp Six Road.
This 1.2-mile unpaved road near Cedar Mountain delivers a walk, not a wilderness experience. The surface is what you'd expect from an old logging route—packed dirt, some ruts, nothing technical. It's the kind of outing that works when you've got an hour to kill or need to loosen up after a long drive, but don't come expecting views or solitude worth writing home about.
- Leg-stretcherShort and nearly flat — an hour or less
- Peak foliage window — color starts up high and works down the valleys through mid-October.
