This blue-blazed trail begins in the Byron Herbert Reece Memorial parking area north of Neels Gap on US 19/129. The trail climbs 400 feet from the parking/picnic area to a 3-way intersection just south of Flat Rock Gap.  From this intersection, hikers can access the Appalachian National Scenic Trail and continue 1.5 miles to the top of Blood Mountain, which offers spectacular views from its rock faces.  Please note that the Byron Herbert Reece Trail is almost completely within the Blood Mountain Wilderness. Visitors should expect few structures, signs, or blazes along the trail.
