TrailMap

Description: Before you begin, stop at the nature center and fill out a registration form. Drop the white copy in the locked box and keep the pink copy to put in the box when you return. The Mill Creek Pass Trail connects the Pinnacle Mountain and Ridge trails. If you ascend the rugged Pinnacle Mountain Trail to the sign just above Mill Creek Falls, you can turn right and follow the Mill Creek Pass Trail to the Ridge Trail. As you wind through rhododendron thickets on the less-traveled connector, watch for bear, snakes, birds, and a variety of other wildlife. You will intersect with the Ridge Trail midway between the Pinnacle Mountain and Table Rock Trails. You can turn left and climb to Pinnacle Mountain, or turn right toward the Table Rock Trail, where you can either turn left to climb Table Rock Mountain, or turn right and return to the Nature Center.

Remember to wear sturdy footwear and functional clothing, carry adequate water and first aid supplies, and use insect repellent in warm weather. Pets are permitted on leashes. Restrooms and water are available in the wood building above the Nature Center parking area.

Length: 0.7 mile.
