In about 0.23 miles, come to the junction with blue-blazed Tumbling Run Trail. There are 2 shelters, a privy and picnic table by the stream. Stay on the AT and begin a steep ascent for the next 1.27 miles.

Turn right onto a blue blazed spur trail to Chimney Rocks (AKA Buzzard Peak) for lunch and a nice view.

Return to the AT. If you wish to do the shortest version cross the AT onto unsigned but blue blazed Tumbling Run trail and follow it down to it’s junction with Chimney Rocks Rd. Pickup the directions later.

To complete a longer version of the hike turn right on the AT and continue north until you reach a gas pipeline swath in 1 mile. TO complete a 6.2 mile version turn left onto the swath for a short distance and then left again onto un-signed Chimney Rocks Road. Pickup the directions later.

To do a longer version cross the pipeline and continue on the AT. In 0.66 miles turn left onto an unmarked but obvious path. Soon arrive at the north section of Chimney Rocks Road. Turn left.

Soon come to a fork in the road. To complete the 7.4 mile version continue straight (left) on Chimney Rocks Rd. In about 0.6 miles arrive back at the pipeline. Cross it and pick up the directions later.

To do the longest version of this loop (8.0 miles) turn right at this fork and follow it out to the pipeline. Turn left onto the pipeline swath and walk uphill for 0.45 miles to unsigned Chimney Rocks Road. Turn right. If you are doing the 7.6 or 8.0 mile version follow the woods road continue south-east on the woods road. In 0.69 miles come to a turn-out area. Blue blazed Tumbling Run Tr will come in from the left. If you are doing the shortest version you had just come down from the overlook. Turn left here. The woods road will be blue blazed. There are two woods roads that come in on the right. Stay on the blue blazed road!
