This loop was comprised of the Crooked Arm Ridge trail, Indian Grave
Gap trail, and the Rich Mountain Loop trail. A nice day loop with
some great ridge top walking. 8.5 miles roundtrip.

View Northeast from Cerulean Knob. Mt. Leconte is the highest peak to the right.
You can clearly see the Boulevard streching to the right from Leconte back towards the main ridgeline. |
