Perrigo Road.
A 1.1-mile unpaved road near Pinnacle that works better as a walk than a destination hike. The surface is dirt, not trail tread, so you're trading roots and rocks for easier footing and less interesting scenery. Go here when your knees need a break from the steep stuff or you want to log miles without the scramble.
