Leading Ridge/Hannah Run/Nicholson Hollow/Crusher Ridge. – Central SNP (PATC Map 10) Starting at the access road (669) to Leading Ridge hikers will complete a tough climb to the AT, follow along Skyline to Hannah Run and take it down to Nicholson Hollow. Hikers will then climb back up to the AT passing Corbin Cabin on the way. Hikers will then descend Crusher ridge down to 669, make a right and head for the parked cars near the Leading Ridge Trail. Approx. 17 miles and over 4000 feet of elevation gain. Options available to shorten the hike. Please copy map attached.
